Because sometimes you’re craving a warm fruity dessert in the morning. And maybe you bought a tiny carton of vanilla ice cream for just such a craving. And maybe you have exactly one cup of blueberries that are keepin’ it real in your fridge. And maybe you just want to enjoy dessert without feeling like you have to have a big reason for making it.
So, I ate this while standing in my dining room, looking real cool in my pajamas, a flannel, and slippers. And it just totally helped my outlook. Sometimes weekends are tricky when they’re full of more thoughts than plans. But sometimes all it takes is a warm dessert, and a cool breeze to turn things around.
I recommend getting your cobbler on breakfast-style. (Why not?) Ice cream for breakfast is the new yogurt for breakfast maybe.
P.S. This cobbler is perfect for one. However, it is just as perfect for sharing with a hottie after dinner.
Single Lady Blueberry Cobbler
Recipe adapted from Betty Crocker via this post
Ingredients:
berries –
- 2 T sugar
- 3/4 t cornstarch
- 1/4 t lemon juice (or a little splash)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup flour
- 3/4 t sugar
- heaping 1/4 t baking powder
- tiny pinch of salt
- 1 T cold butter
- 2 T milk
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400F. Make blueberry filling. In a small saucepan heat the berries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice until bubbly and the liquids start boiling. Allow to boil for 1 minute. Pour into a small oven-save dish or two ramekins.
- Make cobbler by stirring together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients. Add milk one tablespoon at a time. Stir until a soft dough comes together. Drop small mounds over the hot berries.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.

Well I just happen to be living the single girl lifestyle this week and also have blueberries in the fridge. What a coincidence.
It’s a berry miracle!
cool breezes and cobbler for breakfast just give a girl some perspective. ps, I love that tiny casserole dish!
True that, girl! And thanks! It’s my teeny teal le creuset!
i hope beyonce was on blast at some point during the making or eating of this single lady cobbler!
Believe it, sister!
OMG- I love single lady desserts! All the better when they come with a hottie-sharing option to boot!
Right?! 🙂
I’m more of a crisp or crumble girl myself, and have made a few on my blog, but I think they make a wonderful breakfast, even cold from the refrigerator. I mean a day that starts with fruit and topping has to be a good day, right?
I don’t discriminate when it comes to tasty fruity goodness. And yes! Perfect for breakfast.
This looks awesome!! I can’t wait to try it.
Yeah girl!
Thank you x 1 million for this deliciousness, scaled down to size for us single ladies. I do happen to have some blueberries keepin’ it real in my fridge. A quick stop to pick up a pint of vanilla ice cream on my way home and I will be good to go!
Anytime, girl!
LOVE that this is single serve! Will totally be making this for breakfast, it looks great! 🙂
Thanks, Natasha!
I feel like cobblers and crisps are totally acceptable for breakfast. Love the adorable single serving!
It’s true! Warm fruity goodness just needs to happen.
Thanks for the blueberry cobbler recipe idea. I bet this would win anyone over in a heartbeat.
Question! If I find myself craving this on a non-single lady night, like tonight, could I double it? Ya think the cobbler topping recipe would work if doubled? Thanks!
Yes! Double, triple, quadruple it. It’ll work! <3
I TRIPLED it, and it was delicious! Thanks for the recipe! I ate it for breakfast and dinner yesterday. whoooops.
