Easy 4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Cobbler Recipe

39 Comments As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

This Easy 4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Cobbler Recipe is not only the easiest dessert in my repertoire, but it is a family and friend favorite.

This recipe can become a mixed berry cobbler, blueberry cobbler, raspberry, or blackberry cobbler. I have never tried to turn it into a peach cobbler, but if you giver it a go, will you let me know?

While I often use frozen berries, fresh fruit can be used as well.

I have memories as a child of going blackberry picking with my family and then coming home to cook this blackberry Bisquick cobbler with my mom. 

I have people ask for the recipe every time I make it. Want another dessert using fresh berries? Try my amazing raspberry cheesecake recipe.

4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Crisp or Cobbler Recipe - Easy Dessert Idea Jan 22, 2016, 3-40 PM

Easy 4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Cobbler Recipe (Serves 12-16) – Ingredients Needed

2 1/2 cups Bisquick

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cube melted butter (4oz stick)

6 cups frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries or a combo of them all together)

Easy 4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Cobbler Recipe – Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine Bisquick, sugar and melted butter together and stir into a rough crumble.
  3. Place the frozen berries on the bottom of a 9×13 pan.
  4. Next, add the crumble on top of the berries.
  5. Bake for 1 hour.
  6. Let it cool for at least 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven.

Making an Easy 4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Cobbler Recipe

When I’m making this for guests, I generally just put the crumble together before guests arrive. Then, right before I serve dinner, I’ll stick the berries in the pan, throw the crumble on top and stick it in the oven so it is ready  a little while after dinner.

We generally serve this with vanilla ice cream because that is just classic. It pairs well with a delicious homemade whipped cream also. 

I made this for Father’s Day, and my husband actually requested Safeway’s Cinnamon Churro ice cream. It also paired quite well with this easy, fresh and tasty dessert.

After you make this Easy 4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Cobbler, I’m convinced it will become part of your regular dessert rotation too.

Best Dessert Recipe to Feed a Crowd

I told you that while back that I was on work crew at Malibu. The chef found out I do desserts, and suddenly I was in charge of desserts for 150 most evenings.

I chose to make this berry cobbler because of the ease and delicious nature of this dessert. It’s also one of those desserts where I often have all the ingredients available already, so I don’t need to run to the store. Further, when you are needing to feed a large crowd, this is the perfect dessert to make it happen. 

Easy 4 Ingredient Bisquick Berry Cobbler Recipe

Actually, if you get the opportunity to visit camp Malibu in Canada, and you have a Bisquick berry cobbler, it is most likely this one.

The chef asked for the recipe and decided to put it on the regular rotation.

When I wasn’t making desserts, I was working in “The Pits” doing dishes.

This dessert brought our diners back to the pits to compliment the chef.

I need to give my mom credit for this one because I wouldn’t have the recipe if it weren’t for her.

I even had people emailing me after camp to get the recipe. They were probably pretty surprised to learn that this berry crisp has only 4 ingredients and took virtually no time or effort to create.

What is the Difference Between a Berry Cobbler and a Berry Crisp?

We have always called this easy dessert a cobbler, but it might be better described as a crisp made with a Bisquick crumble. 

A cobbler is traditionally a berry bottom with a drop-biscuit top. 

A crisp is a berry bottom with a crunchy and crispy layer on top. Therefore, this should probably be called a “Bisquick Berry Crisp Recipe,” but I’ve always called it a cobbler, so that’s what you get.

    Hi jodi! I always enjoy your posts. My mom used to make something very similar. Just wondering exactly how much you meant by a cube of butter…a 4 oz. stick? I had a neighbor who always referred to it as a cube as well, and she used it interchangeably for “stick”. We are gluten free, but I happen to have some G/F bisquick and a lot of frozen berries on hand that need to be used before we move next week. Thanks! 🙂

      Thank so much for commenting and asking. What a good question. I actually just updated the post to not be confusing. Yes, I was referring to a 4oz stick. We grew up calling it a cube. You’ll have to let me know how the gluten free version turns. out. I didn’t even know they made gluten free Bisquick. That’s fabulous. Enjoy!

    I have homemade canned peaches. Will the fruit sub well? Also salted or unsalted butter? Thanks!,

    • jodidurr

      October 20, 2013 at 12:09 pm

      I think the peaches would work well. I would freeze them first so they don’t overcook. I’m not 100% sure it would work, but I’d love to hear the results. I have always been taught in baking that in baking you want to use unsalted butter because the salt has already been accommodated for in the recipe. That said, I kind of like a little more salt in desserts. I actually just took a bite of our cookie dough we’re doing right now and got that last little flavor of salt and commented on how much I enjoy that. So, I like to use salted sometimes. I guess it’s a personal choice. Let me know how it goes!

    Just a little tip, you didnt say what to do with the crumble… You only said to put the berries on the bottom of the pan. If you specify that more, it would help a lot!

      I would just do the recipe in ramekins. I would cut all of the ingredients by 1/6th. It would be about 1/2 cup Bisquick, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 1/3 TBS butter, and then 1 cup of the berries. You might want to double check my mental math there, but that is what I calculated. I hope that helps.

      I have never tried it. I’ve tried the baking alternatives with a couple other things, and I personally don’t like it. However, if that is how the person is used to eating then I imagine it would work just fine. I would just make sure to follow the directions because I am pretty sure it is not a 1:1 ratio. Let me know how it turns out!

This is actually an infringement on copyright. I didn’t know for so long and had to go back and delete or totally change a number of my blogging mistakes from early on.

      I’m so glad you get as much use out of this dessert as I do. It’s just so easy and yummy. I appreciate you taking the time to comment and rate. You know, I have never tried apples, but I really think that is a great idea. Toss the apples in some cinnamon and sugar before you bake, and I bet it just adds to the experience. I might try that soon. I have some apples in the trees I need to use. Will you report back if you try it too? Love the idea!
