What’s amazing about Jennifer Garner’s Blackberry Cobbler? 

There is a lot to love and reasons why this cobbler recipe went viral but here are a few:

  • It stars Jennifer Garner’s adorable mom who is adorable, likeable and funny (when she sneaks in that blackberry when no one’s looking) 🙂
  • The recipe according to Jennifer Garner’s mom will “have everyone at the potluck eating dessert first” and we can’t agree more about making and tasting it. 
  • The blackberry cobbler is dead simple with common household pantry staples you most likely already have at home (butter, flour, sugar)
  • It’s a delicious summer dessert that brings you back to simpler times and nostalgic baking with your mom, grandma or whomever you grew up baking with (or today’s time as I can certainly relate as I made this with my 3-year-old!)
  • The cobbler is fantastic with the addition of lemon and almond extract – it brings out the fruitiness of the blackberries
  • This is a super simple cobbler recipe that you can’t mess up!

Instructions to Make this Delicious Blackberry Cobbler Recipe

You’ll want to add the blackberries to a pan, then add lemon juice and almond extract over them. Then you’ll mix the flour, sugar, egg and salt and pour that over the top and pour melted butter on top. Once baked the top gets a crispy golden crust that tastes amazing with a hefty scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

This blackberry cobbler recipe is so easy even my 3 year old son @DashBakesTheGreat was able to whip it up! Check out the photos and videos of him in this post making this delicious cobbler recipe.

What Fruits Can You Substitute Instead of Blackberries?

We think any fruits that go well with cobblers would be amazing! Other berries or a mix of them may be nice such as raspberries and blueberries. Stone fruits would be fantastic substitutions, like apricots, peaches or nectarines. You can also try heartier fall fruits like apples and pears. Definitely stay away from more high water fruits like watermelons, honeydew or cantaloupe.
