Equipment
- 1 9"x13" baking dish
Ingredients
For the blueberry filling:
- 4 cups blueberries
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
For the biscuit topping:
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup old-fashioned oats
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup vegan butter, melted
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and place a rack in the center of oven. Grease a 9"x13" baking dish with vegan butter or cooking spray.
Make the blueberry filling:
- To the baking dish, add blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Toss until blueberries are well-coated. Set aside.
Make the biscuit topping:
- In a large mixing bowl, add flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted vegan butter, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Add mixture to dry ingredients and mix until a thick batter forms.
Assemble the cobbler:
- Place large spoonfuls of the dough mixture on top of the blueberries in baking dish. Use the spoon or your fingers to spread out the batter (it doesn't need to be perfect). Sprinkle with granulated sugar, if using.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes on center rack, until the biscuits are golden and slightly crispy, and the blueberries are bubbling.
- Let cobbler rest at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. This helps to thicken it up, creating the ultimate jammy texture. Serve with your favorite topping.

Notes
- How to serve: This cobbler can be served warm, cold, or at room temperature. It really depends on your own preference. Just note that the cooler it is, the more jam-like the blueberry filling becomes.
- Storage: Cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Because it contains moisture from the blueberries, the shelf-life will not be as long if stored at room temperature (around 2 days).
- How to freeze: After completely cooled, place individual servings in freezer-safe bags for easy retrieval. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the refrigerator overnight.
- Let it rest. For optimal texture, let your cobbler rest at room temperature for 20 minutes after removing from the oven. This helps to create a thicker, jammier texture.
