❓ 10 FAQs
Can I use frozen blackberries?
Yes—just don’t thaw them first to avoid extra liquid.
Is Bisquick necessary?
Any all-purpose baking mix works similarly.
Do I have to sweeten the berries?
You can adjust sugar depending on the berry sweetness.
Can I make it gluten-free?
Use gluten-free Bisquick or a similar baking mix.
What size pan should I use?
A 9×9-inch dish is perfect; an 8×8 works too with a slightly thicker cobbler.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes—use a 9×13-inch pan and adjust baking time accordingly.
What if I don’t have cornstarch?
Use flour or arrowroot powder to help thicken the filling.
Can I use milk alternatives?
Yes—almond, oat, or soy milk all work fine.
What’s the difference between cobbler and crisp?
Cobbler has a biscuit topping; crisp uses a buttery oat crumb.
