- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
For the Cobbler Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker with butter or nonstick spray.
2. Make the Filling
In a large bowl, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon. Toss gently, then spread evenly in the slow cooker.
3. Make the Batter
In another bowl, whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Stir until just combined.
4. Add the Topping
Spoon the batter evenly over the blueberry mixture. Do not stir. The topping will spread while cooking.
5. Cook
Cover and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours or LOW for 4 to 5 hours, until the topping is set and the blueberries are bubbling.
6. Rest & Serve
Turn off the heat and let rest for 15 minutes before serving. Spoon into bowls and top with ice cream or whipped cream.
Tips & Notes
- Frozen blueberries can be used directly without thawing.
- Place a paper towel under the lid to absorb excess moisture if needed.
- Do not overmix the batter or topping may become dense.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
- For a richer crust, brush top with melted butter near the end.
