Blueberries are the ultimate summer berry. For a few weeks each summer, many desserts are made with these tasty berries. What makes this recipe for Easy Blueberry Cobbler so easy is that it's made with a cake mix. You could use frozen blueberries in this recipe as well. Serve warm with ice cream. Whip cream works as well.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 pints fresh blueberries (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 (18-ounce) cake mix (vanilla, yellow or white)
  • 1 cup pecan pieces
  • 1 cup melted butter

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients. 

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 9-inch by 13-inch baking pan.

  3. In a saucepan, stir together the sugar and the flour. Add the lemon juice and the water stir to combine. Next, stir in the blueberries. Turn the heat on to medium-high. Keep stirring the blueberries until the mixture boils.

  4. Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the top with the cake mix.

  5. The pecans go on next. Drizzle the butter over top. Cover as much of the cake mix as possible.

  6. Bake for 55 minutes or until blueberries have bubbled up through the mix topping.
