Blueberry Cobbler made with Cake Mix
This Blueberry Cake Mix Cobbler Recipe is a favorite of my easy cake mix recipes eaten almost right out of the oven AND it makes the entire house smell so delicious!
By now you know that I am all about making something delicious very easily! I love to make recipes from boxed cake mixes because all of the dry ingredients are pre-measured, pre-sifted, and pre-mixed!
With less than 10 minutes of prep-work and less than 30 minutes of baking time, you can be eating this blueberry cobbler made with cake mix within an hour of starting to make it. How’s that for a quick snack when company calls and says they will be at your house in an hour? Depending on the company, you could have them pick up some vanilla ice cream to top your treat.
I have said it before and I will say it again….
I have three boys. These boys have friends. My house is almost always filled to bursting with testosterone-driven human garbage disposals. That is just my life.
That means, I have to always have food on hand. While frozen anything is easy, it is never cheap. So, I like to keep ingredients on hand for this quick blueberry cobbler recipe that I can quickly whip up when they all pile in the door.

Can you add frozen blueberries to cake mix?
Yes, you can add frozen blueberries to the cake mix! This is a great option to incorporate berries into an easy dessert recipe without having to have fresh fruit on hand.
Just toss the blueberries in a bit of flour before you toss them into the batter. They will thaw as the cobbler bakes.
Does blueberry cobbler freeze well?
One frequent question about easy blueberry cobbler recipes is whether the cobbler freezes well.
In general, cobbler freezes quite nicely as long as it is stored in an airtight container. This will prevent freezer burn and keep the cobbler moist.
When you are ready to enjoy the cobbler, simply thaw it overnight in the fridge or reheat it in the oven.
If you have leftover cobbler, it is best to freeze it within a day or two of baking. Otherwise, the cobbler may start to dry out and will not be as enjoyable.
Therefore, freezing is a great option if you want to enjoy this easy blueberry cobbler recipe all year round.
Can I use a different cake mix for this fruit cobbler?
Yes! One of the best things about this easy recipe is that it works with just about any type of cake mix. You can use a yellow cake mix, white cake mix, lemon cake mix, or even spice cake mix for a festive twist on the classic cobbler.

Can I use different fresh berries for this recipe?
Of course, you can use any type of fresh or frozen fruit you like. If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding a mixture of berries for a colorful and flavor-packed perfect dessert.
So next time you’re in a pinch and need to make a quick dessert, reach for a box of dry cake mix and some frozen fruit. With this simple kitchen hack, you’ll be able to whip up a delicious cobbler in no time!
How do I store leftovers of this blueberry cobbler dump cake?
If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers of this easy cobbler recipe, that just means that you get to enjoy that blueberry dump cake flavor all over again. The best way to store leftovers is to let the cobbler get to room temperature, and then store this great recipe in an airtight container in the fridge.
When you’re ready to eat this homemade blueberry cobbler again, just warm it up in the microwave for a short amount of time, add a scoop of ice cream to the top, and don’t forget to add some ripe blueberries during the blueberry season so that you can get more of the fresh flavor!

Blueberry Cake Mix Cobbler Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- One box of yellow cake mix
- 4- Cup(s) of blueberries – you can do fresh or frozen depending on your choice and the time of year 🙂
- One stick of unsalted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F
- Place the berries in the bottom of a lightly greased 9×13 baking dish
- Soften butter in large mixing bowl in the microwave for a few seconds. You don’t want to completely melt it.
- Using your clean hands, pour the cake mix on top of the butter and mix thoroughly. You may find that you have to press the mix onto the sides of the bowl to get all the butter worked in. The mixture will be crumbly and not totally moist.
- Scrape the cake mixture (or use your fingers to sprinkle it) on top of the berries in the pan.
- Place the dish in the oven (middle rack) and bake 28-minutes or until lightly browned on top.
- Let your blueberry cobbler cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. (Tastes amazing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top)
I am assuming if Blueberry Pie Filling is used it would be the whole can!?!
Yes, exactly! You’ll use the whole can of Blueberry Pie Filling to make the cobbler. It adds just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. I hope you enjoy making (and eating) it!
This does look and sound very tempting to make. I am sure that even a GF mixture should do the trick.
Oh, I’m so thrilled you find the recipe tempting! 💙 You’re absolutely right—using a gluten-free mixture should work beautifully. Blueberries have such a vibrant sweetness that pairs well with just about any topping, so I’m sure it will be just as delicious. If you give it a try, I’d *love* to hear how it turns out. Happy baking! 😊
I went exactly by the recipe after 28 min it’s as still like crumbs. I bake all the time so I know how. So what’s the problem?
I’m sorry to hear that! It sounds like the cake mix might not have been fully saturated with butter. Try making sure every bit of the topping is well-moistened. Happy baking! ?
I made it it was great,but the cake mix topping was a bit too crunchy
I’m glad you enjoyed the blueberry cobbler! It sounds like the cake mix might not have been fully moistened with the butter.?
My son and husband really like this food. Thanks for share.
I made this for Father’s Day today. I hope everyone will like it! 🙂
and it was super delicious! Thanks, momma! 🙂
If I’m using frozen blueberries, do I need to thaw them first?
no, it will make them soggy
Can you put blueberry pie filling in this? I have blueberries but not 4 cups. This looks delish!
absolutely! It will be runnier, but still yummy
does the butter have to be unsalty?
yes. The boxed cake mix contains salt. If you don’t use unsalted butter, your recipe may taste salty as opposed to sweet. You don’t want that. 🙂
Mine didn’t turn out like the picture, but does it need to be refrigerated?
Most things don’t turn out like the pictures – the pictures are highly stylized to make your mouth water. LOL! Photography and “pretty foods” are their own skills. Anyway, no. You do not have to refrigerate it. Just cover the leftovers with foil or plastic wrap (if your container doesn’t have a lid). You can keep it for a good 2-3 days at room temperature.
Throw your serving in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and top it with vanilla ice cream for a yummy treat! 🙂
It was a hit. Used fresh picked blueberries of which some were tart and gave it a good flavor .
That is so awesome to hear! 🙂

I made this the other day for my niece who just had her second baby, knowing how exhausting a newborn plus an older child can leave a woman I decided to bring dinner and dessert for her to give her a break. For some reason mine didn’t look anything like your pictures – it was more of a blueberry crisp than a cobbler but she texted me with rave reviews, even her extremely picky toddler ate it and that in itself is a big compliment lol. This time of year the blueberries are on sale a lot so…..next one will be for us! 🙂

Cobbler is a favorite around here too! I love how simple your recipe is! not complicated at all
I hate to say this…but I’ve never had cobbler! Omg this looks SO amazing, I just have to try it!
A favorite childhood memory is the cobblers my aunt made when I was a kid, but somehow I’ve never made one. This recipe inspires me to try a Blueberry Cobbler! Thanks!
I love these kind of recipes that use cake mixes, so easy to do!

I love easy recipes like this, so good! Thanks for sharing.
This looks delicious. Thank you.
I make a Blueberry Crunch that is very similar to this but just use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the mix instead of melting the butter. i also add chopped pecans to the topping because who doesn’t like pecans? My husband suggested a lemon cake mix instead of yellow cake mix because he likes lemon blueberry muffins . . . that is delicious too!
Also, I buy blueberries on sale (24 oz. for $5 last Monday), rinse them and spread them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and freeze them. When they are frozen, I put 4 cups in a quart-size freezer bag and we can have blue berry crunch in the winter!
let me grab a glass of milk, I’ll be right over! I invite you to share at the Thursday link party ( starts tonight at 7pm ends Sat midnight). Hugs
