Questions I Often Get Asked About This Recipe
Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones? Absolutely! Frozen blueberries work just as well. Just make sure to thaw them and drain any excess liquid before using.
Do I need to grease the crockpot? Yes, lightly greasing the crockpot ensures that the cobbler doesn’t stick and makes cleanup easier.
Can I substitute the blueberries for another fruit? Of course! This recipe works great with peaches, blackberries, or even mixed berries.
How do I know when it’s done? The topping should be golden and set, and the blueberries should be bubbling around the edges. It usually takes about 2-3 hours on high.
Can I reheat leftovers? Yes, simply pop it in the microwave or reheat it gently in the crockpot. It’s just as delicious the next day!

Tips for Making the Best Crockpot Blueberry Cobbler
Use ripe blueberries: Fresh, ripe blueberries will give the best flavor, but frozen ones are a convenient alternative.
Don’t skip the cornstarch: It thickens the blueberry filling, preventing it from being too runny.
Check halfway through: Some crockpots cook faster than others, so keep an eye on your cobbler to avoid overcooking.
Customize the flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the filling for extra depth.
Serve warm: This cobbler is best served warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
