Helpful Ingredient Tips

Fresh Strawberries – This recipe is made with fresh strawberries, but I have also used strawberries that need to be used before going bad and both work great for this recipe.
Lemon Juice – The lemon juice adds a little acidity to balance the sweetness of the strawberries and sugar. It also brightens the natural strawberry flavor, making the filling taste fresh and fruity without being overly sweet.
Cornstarch – Cornstarch is important because it thickens the juices released by the strawberries as they bake, keeping the middle from becoming runny. It helps create a thick, juicy strawberry filling that holds together when you scoop out a serving, without making the cobbler gummy or overly thick.
White Sugar
Brown Sugar
All-Purpose Flour
White Sugar
Salt
Melted Butter – I used salted butter here.
Baking Powder
Whole Milk – I always recommend using whole milk when baking because the extra fat adds moisture and richness to the batter. It helps create a softer, more tender cobbler topping with a delicious texture. Whole milk is my go-to for baking because it adds that little bit of richness that makes homemade desserts even better!

Tools You’ll Need

How to Make Homemade Strawberry Cobbler

Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Slice the strawberries into quarters and place them in a large bowl.
Add the cornstarch, white sugar, brown sugar, and lemon juice over top of the strawberries and stir until the strawberries are evenly coated.
Pour the strawberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it into an even layer.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Stir until the batter is well combined.
Pour the batter evenly over the strawberries and gently spread it into a smooth layer.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the cobbler topping is golden brown and the strawberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
Let the cobbler cool slightly before serving so the strawberry filling has time to thicken.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Storage and Reheating

Storage

Allow the strawberry cobbler to cool completely, then cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or transfer leftovers to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

reheating

To reheat individual servings, place them in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, or until warmed through. To reheat a larger portion, cover the baking dish with foil and warm in a 350°F oven for 15–20 minutes, or until heated through.
