What you will need
This recipe uses 5 simple ingredients that you can find at any grocery store:
- 0.5 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsp sugar divided
- 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tbsp melted butter
Step by step instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
Place the blueberries and 1 tablespoon of sugar in the bottom of a large microwave-safe mug and stir together. Microwave for 60 seconds until the berries begin to burst.
Step 2: Make the Topping
In a separate small bowl, stir together flour, remaining tablespoon of sugar, melted butter, and milk until a thick sticky batter just comes together.
Step 3: Assemble and Microwave
Spoon the biscuit batter on top of the warm blueberry filling and spread gently. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the topping is set and no longer wet.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Let the cobbler cool in the mug for 1 to 2 minutes then serve directly from the mug with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
Easy substitutions
Missing an ingredient? Here are some swaps that work perfectly:
- blueberries → raspberries or diced peaches work equally well
- milk → almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free version
Common mistakes to avoid
Watch out for these pitfalls that can affect your results:
- Not pre-cooking the blueberries first which leaves them cold and undercooked beneath the topping
- Spooning the batter too thick which results in raw doughy topping after microwaving
