Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the blueberry filling by combining fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a medium mixing bowl. Gently stir to ensure blueberries are evenly coated with sugar and lemon.
- Grease the interior of your 6-quart slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/2 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until well combined and no lumps remain.
- Gradually pour in milk and melted butter, stirring continuously to create a smooth, consistent batter without overmixing.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased crockpot, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Carefully distribute the blueberry mixture over the batter, ensuring an even spread but do not stir.
- Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low heat for 4 hours, or until the cobbler's top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once cooking is complete, turn off the crockpot and let the cobbler rest for 15-20 minutes to set and cool slightly.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for additional indulgence.
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most vibrant flavor and best texture.
- Make sure to grease your crockpot well to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
- Avoid overmixing the batter - this can lead to a tough, dense cobbler topping.
- Don't peek too often while cooking! Each time you lift the lid, you'll lose heat and extend the cooking time.
- For an extra touch of indulgence, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
- If you prefer a less sweet dessert, you can reduce the sugar slightly without compromising the overall texture.
- Fresh lemon zest is key to bringing out that bright, citrusy flavor - don't skip it!
- Let the cobbler rest for 15-20 minutes after cooking to allow it to set and make serving easier.
