Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Nectarines: Fresh nectarines give this cobbler a lovely sweetness. If you can’t find nectarines, peaches work just as well. They’re just as juicy and flavorful!
Blueberries: You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If you go for frozen, there’s no need to thaw—they’ll bake perfectly! If you’re allergic, try raspberries for a different twist.
All-Purpose Flour: This is essential for the cobbler batter. If you need a gluten-free option, you can substitute with a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend.
Granulated Sugar: This sweetens your batter and balances the tartness of the fruit. For a lower sugar option, use coconut sugar or maple syrup. Just adjust the liquid accordingly.
Whole Milk: I prefer whole milk for richness, but any milk—dairy or plant-based—will work. Almond milk or oat milk are good alternatives.
How Do I Make Sure My Cobbler Has the Right Texture?
Texture is key for a good cobbler! Follow these tips to ensure it turns out perfectly fluffy and golden:
- Mix the dry and wet ingredients just until combined. Overmixing can make the batter tough.
- Pour your batter directly onto the fruit without stirring. This way, it will settle in while baking, giving you that nice cobbler texture.
- Keep an eye on the oven. Baking times can vary, so check for a golden top and use a toothpick to test for doneness.
Let the cobbler cool a bit before serving. It helps the flavors meld together and makes it easier to scoop!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures it’s hot enough to bake your cobbler perfectly!

Add in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just mixed together. Don’t overmix—this will keep your cobbler tender!

Pour the batter evenly over the fruit layer in the baking dish. Don’t worry if it looks a bit messy; it will spread during baking!

7. Cool Before Serving:
Once it’s done baking, take the cobbler out and let it cool for a few minutes. This helps it set up a bit more.
