How to Make Blueberry Cobbler in a Crock Pot
Gather your ingredients. Fresh blueberries add a vibrant flavor, but frozen ones work perfectly too, you can use them straight from the freezer. Just extend the cooking time by about 15-20 minutes.
Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with butter or non-stick spray.
In the slow cooker mix together the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Stir to coat the fruit evenly.
Sprinkle the cake mix evenly over the blueberries and cover the top with pats of butter.
Cover the crockpot with a lid and cook on high for 2-3 hours or low for 4-5 hours.The cobbler is done when the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
Scoop the warm cobbler into bowls and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Yes, you can substitute frozen blueberries for fresh. No need to thaw them before use — just add them directly to the recipe. Keep in mind that frozen blueberries may release more liquid, so you may need to increase the cooking time slightly.
In most cobbler recipes, the fruit typically goes on the bottom of the baking dish or crockpot. The topping (cake mix, biscuit dough, or other crusts) is layered on top. This allows the fruit to bubble and create a saucy base while the topping bakes to a golden brown.
When the topping is golden brown, slightly crisp, and fully cooked through. The fruit layer should be bubbly and thickened.
Excess moisture from the lid can drip onto the topping. Place a paper towel under the lid during the last 15-20 minutes to absorb condensation and keep the topping dry.

Recipe Notes
Do I need to Refrigerate my Cobbler?
Yes. Because you are using fruit, it is a good idea to refrigerate your room temperature cobbler. I find the easiest way to do so is to transfer my finished dessert to a casserole dish and then wrap it in plastic wrap. Or you can use an airtight container of your choice.
Do I Need to Thaw my Frozen Fruit When I make a Cobbler?
No need to thaw your frozen fruit when making your crock pot cobbler.
I love blueberries!! I definitely have to make this! I bet my whole family would love this!
This looks so good. I’d eat this for breakfast.
I really love blueberry desserts! This would be very easy to throw together and let it cook.
Great way to use blueberries! Thanks for sharing!
Omg this looks scrumptious!! Thank you
I love fruit desserts and we have a lot of berries here in Vermont so I make a lot of cobblers and crumbles.
Wow 6 pounds? Good job- nothing beats fresh handpicked berries! This cobbler looks amazing too.
That looks absolutely delicious. I thin it would be good with blackberries too.
Do you cover the slow cooker or leave it open?!
Yes, for any slow cooker / crock pot recipe, you want to keep it covered while cooking.
What size slow cooker is this recipe intended for? I think it must be for larger (6 qt or more) crock pots, because I’ve been cooking this for over 6 hours and it’s still not browning. It seems overloaded with blueberries, too. Could you please specify what size slow cooker to use with this recipe? I always read comments to look for missing information, but the only comments I see were written before trying the recipe.
Hello, an 8 qt crock pot.
