Blueberry Cobbler Bars are a simple and easy summer treat with a rich buttery texture & pop of blueberry in every bite. Perfect for all those summer berries.
I think I’m in blueberry overload. The family can’t seem to get enough recipes with blueberries. 🙂 A long while back I shared these AWESOME Blueberry Cobbler Bars over with Cheryl at Tidy Mom.
I had the pleasure of not only meeting Cheryl at SNAP! Conference a good 7+ years ago and was fortunate to get in some quality one on one time with her too. Let me tell you, she is INCREDIBLE! I loved every moment with her & the more we get to know each other the more I realize how much I love her.
So anyhow- back to the cobbler bars. These are so incredibly simple to make. We all love the wonderful smell of baked blueberries drifting through the house.
So good warmed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. We made this Vanilla Frozen Yogurt for ours.
I love making these instead of regular cobbler because of how portable they are. Just grab one or two and you can stroll around the backyard or wherever. I don’t have to sit at the table to enjoy these.
That makes them great for potlucks and parties. Everyone can have just enough without overdoing it OR they can go completely overboard and it doesn’t really matter.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use frozen berries?
Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. Just be sure to thaw them & pat them dry before using.
Can I use another type of berry?
This recipe also works well with other berries. Since we are in North Idaho – our all-time favorite is Huckleberry.
Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
This is really a personal choice. I happen to like the added salt, while others are more sensitive to it. It’s up to you.
Can I use a sugar substitute?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
Can these cobbler bars be frozen?
If you would like to freeze these bars after you make them, make sure to cover tightly with plastic wrap and use within 6 months.
How many does this serve?
This will depend on how large or small you cut the pieces. But I like to make 2 cuts in both directions which makes 9 bars.

Can this recipe be doubled?
This recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9×13 pan. Increase the baking time and remove when golden on top and toothpick test is clean.

Brian Wilber says
Hello there, I’m going to make this recipe for Mother’s Day cause these look amazing! I’m curious, the recipe states to add butter to the filling after whisking the eggs, how much butter and at what temperature? Or is it just a typo? Thank you for the recipe and great job you do!!!
Brad says
Yummmm! These were so tasty
Jenae says
Can you explain how much butter goes into the filling. I looked at the list and do not see Butter listed under filling only listed under crust/topping section. Thank you! Looks so yummy. Can’t wait to try!
Gina Kleinworth says
My apologies – that is a typo. Thank you for letting me know. You only need butter in the crust. Updating now.
I do sometimes add 1/4 teaspoon butter extract for a richer flavor – but that is optional.
