A warm, juicy cobbler with mixed berries and a tender golden crust ready in minutes.

# What You'll Need:

→ Berries

01 - 1/2 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen; e.g., blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)

→ Cobbler Batter

02 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
03 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1/4 teaspoon baking powder

→ Topping (optional)

09 - 1/4 teaspoon coarse sugar or brown sugar

# Directions:

01 - Lightly grease a large microwave-safe mug (12–14 oz).
02 - Place mixed berries into the mug; chop larger berries into bite-sized pieces if needed.
03 - Whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
04 - Stir milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract into dry mixture until smooth batter forms.
05 - Spoon batter evenly over the berries in the mug without stirring.
06 - Sprinkle coarse or brown sugar on top, if desired.
07 - Microwave on high for 1 minute 30 seconds to 2 minutes, until the top is set and berries bubble.
08 - Allow to cool for 2 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It's ready before you finish scrolling through your phone, no preheating required.
  • Fresh or frozen berries work equally well, so you're never caught without options.
  • The contrast between warm fruit and tender cake hits different when it's just for you.
02 -
  • Don't overfill your mug; the cake rises during cooking and can overflow if there's not enough headroom, which I learned the messy way.
  • Microwaves vary wildly in power, so start at 1 minute 30 seconds and add 15-second increments if needed rather than guessing and burning the top.
03 -
  • If your microwave is particularly powerful, start with 1 minute 15 seconds to avoid overcooking the top while the center is still wet.
  • Room-temperature berries cook slightly faster and more evenly than frozen ones straight from the freezer, so plan accordingly.
