We had some blackberries that were about to go bad in our fridge this week. It wasn’t enough to make a whole cobbler, but it was enough to make a couple of single-serving cobblers. I pulled out some frozen blueberries and raspberries to make a few more so everyone could have one for dessert.
I also wanted to keep the sugar low, so I grated an apple and used it mixed in with the berries to sweeten up the filling without adding more sugar. For the topping, I made my favorite oatmeal, brown sugar, and butter crumb topping.
It was so fun for everyone to have their own dessert and to pick the type of berries they wanted in theirs.
how to make Berry Cobbler Recipe…Make it for one, two, or twenty….
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place berries/fruit in a ramekin or other small baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix all other ingredients….oatmeal, flour, sugar, butter, salt, baking soda, and vanilla. Use your hand or a fork to make sure all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Sprinkle oatmeal mixture evenly over berries/fruit.
- Place ramekin on a baking dish just in case it boils over a little bit.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until topping is beginning to lightly brown.

Tips for making Berry Cobbler Recipe…Make it for one, two or twenty….
- The ingredients and directions are for making one single-serve cobbler. Just increase it accordingly for how many you are planning to make.
- If you want to make it in an 8×8 baking dish instead of in single servings, multiply the recipe by six and use 1/4 tsp baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt (or a little less if using salted butter), and 1 tsp vanilla.
- When baking the cobbler, place the ramekins on a cookie sheet just in case the filling boils over a little bit.
- Any canned fruit pie filling can be used in place of fresh/frozen berries.

Cake Recipes with Berries
One of my fav desserts, with vanilla ice cream 🙂
YUM!! I love a good cobbler 😀
This looks delicious! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
These are perfect! I adore cobbler in any form, but love these individual portions for entertaining.
These look awesome, and surely taste good too! Perfect dessert, indeed!
I LOVE that you can make just a few or a lot. Perfect for unexpected guests or family! 🙂
Made this tonight for myself and my husband. Amazing! I love that we don’t have a ton of dessert leftover and it’s just the right amount of sweetness. I used frozen wild blueberries, and I plan on using other fruits next time! Thanks so much!
You’re welcome. I love it too, and I love that I can adapt the recipe to how ever many people will be eating.
Can you make this in the microwave?
I’ve never tried it. I think it would work you just wouldn’t get the nice crispness that comes from baking it in the oven.
Hello so glad I found your blog I really want to try baking cobbler Most recipe comes in a big batch Just one question to ask what the oatmeal do you mean in the recipe? It means cooked roll oas ? Thanks
Just regular or quick oatmeal (not cooked) either will be fine.
Hi! This looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it. Quick question- if making a larger batch in an 8×8 dish how much does 6 pinches of baking soda and salt roughly translate to? Also, the last bullet just says “coup”… is that another ingredient that got cut off?
Thanks!
Hi Jessica, thank you! This recipe is one of my favorites and I make it ALL.THE.TIME. If making a 8×8 dish just use 1/4 baking soda and 1/4 tsp salt or a little less if using salted butter. That “coup” shouldn’t have been there at the bottom. I have removed it. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Hope you like the cobbler!

This is a great and easy recipe to make for a single gal when she’s craving a little something sweet. Thanks for sharing! Used frozen Blackberries and it turned out great. I will say though it’s actually a “crisp” and not a “cobbler” as the recipe name implies.
So glad you liked it! I love that this recipe can be so versatile. You are right that this is a crisp and not a cobbler. My mom always called it cobbler growing up and I guess I have a hard time breaking the habit. 🙂
Do the berries need to be cooked or could i add them after cooking? I am making this for a large group of people and I want them to choose whatever berries they want. Thanks!
Hi Patrick, that is a great idea for a dessert at a party. Just have fresh or frozen fruit and then once you add the topping you will need to cook the individual desserts so you will need a way to label everyone’s so they can tell which one is theirs.
two words: AMAZING and YUM!!!!!!!
This is one of my favorites! So glad you like the cobbler as much as I do Sophia! Thank you!
So good! I made it with peaches and raspberries. Unfortunately the peaches didn’t keep too well, but I loved it so much I made a single one later in the week. Tried doing it in the microwave and it wasn’t quite the same but still good. I would recommend just heating up the fruit and not the topping, because the butter will just melt.
Audrey, I love seeing you trying so many of my recipes! If you have a toaster oven that might be a good option for cooking a single serving and still getting the crisp on top.
I have some leftover cherry pie filling, would this work in place of the fruit??
This cobbler is extra yummy with fresh and frozen fruit but in a pinch the cherry will work. You could grate an apple and put it in with the cherry filling.
This is so versatile. I made 2 this evening, one blueberry for myself, one blackberry for the hubby. Everyone’s happy! I coated the blueberries with flour to keep them from being too juicy. It is a perfect end to a really beautiful day here in Indy. Thanks for this great way to enjoy a dessert.
I love hearing this Emily, This is definitely one of my Favorite summer desserts, especially because of how versatile it is and how quickly it can be thrown together. So glad you both enjoyed it!
These look incredibly easy and delicious! I have a couple bags of mixed berries and some vanilla ice cream in our freezer so think I’m going to try this out for our Sunday dessert tomorrow. They look so cute in the individual ramekins! #marchgiveaway
These are super fun and I love using up the bits and pieces of weird fruit leftover from smoothies that are always hiding in the freezer. Hope you like them!
Tastes good, but my topping did not want to brown. I kept in in the oven about 15-20 min longer and finally just took it out. I did double it, so maybe that was why?
That’s interesting Alyssa, Occassionally mine doesn’t brown super well when I make a large batch. How did it taste?
