Easy Boysenberry Cobbler - My baby is on a sleep strike and I’m on the verge of zombie status. We had a pretty good run there for a few weeks where he was sleeping through the night and I totally forgot what real life with a 3 month old was like.
Silly, Heather.
So I’m readjusting to life with 3 solid hours of sleep and hoping that if he decides to throw me for another loop and start sleeping again, I don’t get too comfortable.
You know what goes out the window when you’re sleep deprived? Responsible eating. I was doing so. Stinking. Well. at keeping the sugar and other junk at bay until the zombie button was pushed. And now it’s like the world is my buffet table and instead of brains and guts I want to shove anything high in carbs and sugar into my face with reckless abandon.
How to Make Easy Boysenberry Cobbler
You know what totally justifies eating like a dessert-deprived zombie? Fruit. This boysenberry cobbler is one of the simplest berry desserts you can whip up and comes out of the oven hot, bubbly, tart, sweet, and completely satisfying.
You'll start by melting 6 tablespoon of butter in your preheating oven.
The batter is a simple flour, sugar and milk mixture that basically looks like pancake mix.
I used frozen boysenberries from our summer berry picking but just about any other berry will work well for this Easy Boysenberry Cobbler recipe.
Once that butter is melted, pour the batter straight on top of the butter and resist the urge to stir! Place the berries right on top of the batter, sprinkle with sugar and place directly in the oven.
I do find that when I used frozen berries instead of fresh, the finished product isn't quite as pretty as the cold berries make the melted butter seize up, but I prefer to eat with my mouth at times like these. Forget your eyes or use fresh berries if you really care.
Mmmmm. It's crispy, buttery, berry-y, and divine.

Made this with some home grown berries and used my wife’s air fryer oven. Reduced temp to 325 but came out a bit doughy. Will try 300 for the next batch but what a great easy recipe. Thumbs up. 👍

I made this cobbler and substituted the 3/4 cup sugar with 1/2 cup brown sugar I preferred the taste,and also skipped the sugar on top and it turned out really good,thank you for the inspiration I seem to always add my own trust to someone elses recipes 😇 it's called fun in the kitchen for me 🫶

Carol Liby says
I just made this with fresh boysenberries. I used gluten free flour. It was so delicious. I should have made two.
Trish says
Excellent Cobbler so quick and easy to make. Turns out buttery good. I have a seedless boysenberry but sh and of course they all ripen at once. This takes no time to prep and little effort for a delicious dessert.

I had a can of Boysenberries that I opened and had to use. I found this recipe and it was perfect. I didn't have to do a lot of work. While the butter was melting I mixed the batter. Could not have easier, especially a last minute idea. Already had a piece with vanilla ice cream. Yum!!
