Ingredients

- 1 cup self-rising flour, you can try a 1 to 1 gluten free or oat flour too
- 1 cup granulated sugar, you can use coconut sugar or any no calorie/low calorie sweetener of choice. Just make sure to measure to so it’s equal to regular granulated sugar.
- 1 cup milk, I used daily milk, almond milk should work too
- 1 stick unsalted butter, you can try a vegan butter too
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, I used fine sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, this is the vanilla extract I use in all my baking
- Enough fresh sliced strawberries to cover the batter
How to Make a Fresh Strawberry Cobbler
Making this cobbler is just as easy as gathering up the ingredients. You’ll be in and out of the kitchen in just about 30 minutes!
- Preheat the oven to 400. Wash and slice the strawberries, discarding the tops.
- Melt a stick of butter in a 9×9 baking dish or two smaller ceramic baking dishes (I just bought these after I made this recipe, but will be using these now.) in the oven.
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Pour the batter over the melted butter and place the sliced strawberries on top of it.
- Bake for 25 minutes (for the smaller baking pans, bake for about 15 to 20 minutes) or until the batter rises to the top and becomes golden brown. Enjoy!
Tips
- Wash your strawberries just before slicing them. Never wash strawberries ahead of time, or they could get moldy.
- Try not to overmix the batter, or it won’t be nice and tender when the cobbler is finished.
- Use the largest, freshest strawberries possible for a lovely presentation and tons of strawberry flavor.
Substitutions and Variations
- Use your favorite berries in place of strawberries.
- You can use canned sliced fruit like peaches, pears, or even pineapple for different kinds of cobblers. Just be sure to drain them well.
- For a sugar-free version, use your favorite sugar substitute.
- Use your choice of milk for this recipe. Milk with a higher fat content will make a richer batter.
Equipment
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Mixing bowl
- 9×9 glass baking dish
- 2 to 3 small baking dishes
Storage
Refrigerate this fresh strawberry cobbler in an air-tight container for up to 2 days. For longer storage, freeze it for up to 1 month in an air-tight, freezer-safe container. Defrost overnight before reheating.
To reheat the cobbler, place individual slices on a plate and microwave at 30-second to 1-minute intervals until warm. I also like to reheat in the oven for a few minutes.
What to Serve with a Fresh Strawberry Cobbler
Serve this cobbler as-is or top it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Kids will enjoy it with a glass of milk, while grownups can pair it with a nice cup of coffee.

FAQ
Cup a cup a cobbler is a classic Southern cobbler dish made with 1 cup each of flour, sugar, and milk. While the name was made famous in the movie Steel Magnolias, it’s been around since time out of mind.
Absolutely not. Cobbler batter should bake up soft and doughy, but never gummy. Gummy dough often occurs when canned fruit is used. If it isn’t drained thoroughly, the extra liquid results in a gummy cobbler topping.
Frozen fruits make excellent cobblers. In fact, if you don’t have fresh fruit, they’re preferred over canned fruit. Be sure NOT to defrost your fruit before using them in the cobbler.
