This Strawberry Cobbler is sweet, tart, and full of lots of the cakey-cobbler that’s my favorite part of any great cobbler. It’s easy to make and delicious!
Y’all, this Strawberry Cobbler is probably my favorite cobbler recipe. It’s sweet, tart, and full of lots of the cakey-cobbler batter that’s my favorite part of any great cobbler. Simply follow my easy directions, and bake it til the cobbler crust is a perfect golden brown and the strawberry mixture is nice and bubbly. Grab a spoon and enjoy!
I’ll admit that this easy strawberry cobbler recipe has a pretty sweet flavor. That’s why it’s good to cut the sweetness with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. ~snickers~ Or better yet, serve it warm with a little heavy cream poured over it or a dollop of whipped cream! So good! Even the leftovers are delicious! Store it in the fridge in an airtight container or tightly wrapped with plastic wrap. It should keep in the fridge for a few days!
If you enjoy this Strawberry Cobbler, you will love my Peach Cobbler! And, you could easily turn this recipe into a blueberry cobbler by substituting in blueberries for strawberries!
Can frozen strawberries be used in this Strawberry Cobbler?
While I have never made it with frozen strawberries, I don’t see why thawed and drained berries wouldn’t work. Just be sure to drain them really well after you thaw them. When strawberries are frozen, they are frozen with a thin coating of ice. When that ice thaws, you are left with extra water. You definitely don’t need that much liquid. So, just be sure to drain them well.
Can you substitute Bisquick for flour in strawberry cobbler:
Yes, you should be able to replace the flour and 1/2 cup butter with Bisquick. You’ll just need to make sure you whisk in the sugar. But, that substitution should work just fine!
Recipe Card
Strawberry Cobbler
Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 3 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
- 1 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Wash, hull, and slice the strawberries.
- Combine strawberries, orange juice, and 1/2 cup of the white sugar in a medium pot and cook over medium heat until sugar is completely dissolved. Pour into the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, combine the flour and the remaining 1/2 cup of white sugar. Use a pastry blender or two forks to cut 1/2 cup of the butter into it. It will be dry and crumbly. Sprinkle it on top of the strawberries.
- Soften the remaining 1/4 cup of butter and mix with 1 cup brown sugar. Drop into dollops on top of the flour mixture.
- Bake for 55 minutes to an hour, or until golden, bubbly, and the cobbler is cooked through. Serve with vanilla ice cream or a generous pour of heavy cream.

From Original Post – May 9, 2012
I’ve gotten so caught up in day-to-day life that I seem to have become more focused on the getting things done rather than taking the time to really SEE things. You know what I mean – getting up, getting breakfast, getting ready for work, getting the kids to school, getting to work, getting your work done, getting home, getting dinner ready, getting the kids to bed, getting to bed yourself so you can get up and get to getting the next day.
I’ve been so busy getting, that I failed to realize the last few baby things in our house were almost gone. Sure the diapers, bottles, and cribs have been long gone, but realizing the baby monitors were still up made me see that the baby era is quickly fleeting.
It’s a hard pill to swallow realizing my baby is now 3 and referring to himself as a “big boy.” He does “big boy” things like brushing his own teeth and putting his dirty clothes in the hamper. It’s all made me realize we all need to work harder at SEEING and focus less on the getting things done.
Time is passing us by quickly without any reverence for our lives. It doesn’t pay attention to what we’ve got going on. We’ve got to stop waiting for things to happen and just MAKE them happen.
Monday night we were sitting at the table eating dinner when a light rain came up. Looking out into the rain, I realized that my kid had no idea what it was like to play in the rain. I grabbed the opportunity to snatch him up and run out and play in the rain with him. We played until the sun went down.
I hope I can etch that time in my memory so that I can remember every detail – what he was wearing, the way he laughed, the look in his eyes. I’m so glad I took the time to do that and to be a little silly with him.
I know that I will have other opportunities like this, if I make time for them. But I also know that as the years pass, those opportunities will grow fewer. I just hope I have the wisdom to SEE these types of opportunities when they present themselves…

I’ve made this twice now, once with the OG strawberries and once with a combo of peaches/blackberries. Perfect both times and everyone loved it. Question: can I make this in advance of an event, freeze it, and then thaw and serve or will it ruin it? Has anyone tried this?
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed it both times! I haven’t tested freezing it myself, so I can’t say for sure how it would hold up. Maybe someone else in the comments can share their experience with freezing. Hope you find a solution!
Sammy
Just looking at Strawberry cobbler recipe. Couldn’t you use a cake mix like a dump cake still with brown sugar?
I’ve not trie that, but with a few adjustment, I think it could work.
JennyG
Super easy, super tasty! I had more than 1 lb of strawberries, but why not use them alll? 😁 I will definitely keep this recipe handy and use any berries I have on hand.
It looks great! I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Extra strawberries are never a bad idea! Feel free to mix in any berries you like—it’s a great way to switch things up. Happy cooking!
Jenny
Around here strawberries are sold by the dry pint and quart rather than by the pound. Since your recipe specifically says “one pound”, I suppose I should go by weight rather than by volume?
Yes. A dry quart is typically 1.25 to 1.5 pounds, if that helps.
Jenny
It does, thanks!
Ella
Pawsome recipe! I made this with my own paws.
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the recipe. That pup in the photo is adorable! 🐾

My husband & I picked our 1st blueberries of the season this morning and I knew I wanted to make a cobbler. Southern Bite is always my 1st “go to” for recipes. I made the strawberry cobbler recipe using blueberries and it was beyond divine! It is our new favorite cobbler recipe now! Oh my goodness… it is SO good! Thanks Stacey!
I was just telling someone that I thought this recipe would work well with blueberries! I’m so glad it turned out great for you!
Jeanie
This is so good!! Not real hard to make but sure is fun to eat! I served it at room temperature with cream on top but ice cream would be good, too. I made no changes to the recipe. Thanks, Stacey!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Jane Smith
I love this recipe! Strawberry cobbler is so spring-like. Side note: has anyone else noticed that Bisquick has changed their formula? I saw a whole thread on it somewhere, they did say they had changed up the formula for it. I didn’t care for it at all and changed over to Pioneer for my very few Bisquick recipes.
Thanks, Jane! I’ve not used Bisquick in a while, but thanks for the heads-up!
Mim
Stacey, I love all your recipes and the personal stories accompanying them. One of my favorite childhood memories is of my mother and me lying on the grass looking at clouds and trying to figure out what they looked like. She taught me to always look at the sky and its amazing sunrises and sunsets — and everything in between. I hope your son will always remember your taking the time to play in the rain with him and, consequently, remember how much you love him.
Such sweet memories! Thanks, Mim!
Kimberly
I made this with gluten free flour and earth balance buttery sticks to be Gf & Df. It was amazing!!
Awesome! Thanks for letting everyone know about the GF and DF options! So glad you enjoyed it!
Christine
Thanks for sharing this recipe! Hubby and I made this the other day and it was gone in no time flat. We loved it.
That’s wonderful! It’s great to hear y’all enjoyed it!
Leslie
This is a great recipe. It is so quick and easy, I can throw it together anytime. Also, it is delicious. The strawberries develop a deep “roasty” flavor. Your recipes are the best.
Thank you so much, Leslie!
Ruth Ann Thummel
Love all of your recipes!!
I really appreciate that, Ruth Ann!
Linda Brown
I’ll definitely make this! Everyone in my family will love it! (I may in future do one w 1/2 rhubarb as well.) I’m so glad I discovered your site because some seriously go I d cooking goes on at your house.
Sounds great! I’m glad you made it here! Please let me know if I can help with anything!
Sherry Ryan
Hi Stacey! I just recently found your website and I LOVE it…but, I also love your story about family and cooking and especially how humble and kind you are. I’ve been looking over your recipes, which is going to be a pure and delicious delight! So many of them remind me of my Mom’s recipes, which I don’t have, so it is even more special to have found your site! Thanks for sharing your amazing recipes and, as I said, the above story about your family (and taking your little guy out to play in the rain) is just so beautiful! As I always write on greeting cards etc. that I give to people “Always Be Humble And Kind” and from what I’ve read, you surely are! Thanks so very much and I’ll definitely be making many of your recipes.
Thank you so much, Sherry! It’s a pleasure to have you join us!
cindy maccready
can this strawberry cobbler be made with Splenda?
I would imagine so, but I’ve only made it as written, so I can’t say for sure.
Melinda Joy Bandy
Can’t wait until strawberry season starts!
Fingers crossed it starts soon for you!
Barbara
Can frozen strawberries be used instead of fresh?
Louisette
I would also like to know if frozen strawberries can be used because fresh one are not always available.
I’ve not ever made it with frozen, but don’t see why thawed and drained berries wouldn’t work.
Kathleen
Well haven’t made this yet but now I know what to do with the strawberries I bought! Sounds wonderful! Thanks I like all you recipes and have pinned many.
Thank you so much, Kathleen! This is one of my favorite strawberry recipes! Hope it turns out great for you!
Molly
Can you use Bisquick for them to topping I have alot of that
Yes, you should be able to replace the flour and 1/2 cup butter with the Bisquick. You’ll just need to still add the sugar to it.
Kay
Thanks for sharing this cobbler recipe. Can’t wait to try it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Kathi
This looks terrific and when I make it, the only thing I am going to make is to make it in my crock pot like I do my fresh peach cobble in 3 hours. Why heat up the house? Thanks for sharing.
Hope it turns out great for you!!
Anne
This looks amazing! I was wondering what I could use in replace of the orange juice. Want to make but not a big fan of OJ.
You won’ really taste the orange juice. But you could use water.
Laura
Can I use fresh blueberries rather than strawberries? A friend gave me a huge bag of blueberries she picked from her yard but wasn’t sure what I wanted to make. If so are there any other changes I would need make to the recipe? This recipe looks wonderful and would love to try it this weekend.
You sure can! Blueberries work perfectly! Enjoy!
Pam Elkin
PS I love your cookbook!!!!
Pam Elkin
Great advice!! It really makes me stop and think. Time does go by so quickly. Taking time for those precious, simple moments is so, so important!
This recipe sounds delicious. Will try soon.
Catherine
My goodness Stacey this cobbler is amazing. My husband ate the hold thing with a big bowl of Blue bell homemade vanilla ice cream. He said it was better than his mama. Lol. She uses the pie crust with hers. Then I glided a picture to my daughters while it was still bubbling in the oven. They said “mouth watering” we enjoyed it sweet yet simple.
Wonderful! I’m SO glad y’all enjoyed it! It sure is a favorite at our house!
Kathryne
Just a few hours ago, I was remembering where I had eaten my first strawberry cobbler, never having heard of it until that day. They are soooooo delicious.
Brenda
I still have hand picked summer fruit in the freezer and been wondering what I could do with it. This is a really great idea. Now frozen fruit is different from fresh because there is more water in it from freezing. But I don’t mind the extra syrup made from baking.
Yep, but I’m with you. I think the extra syrup would be great!
Jackie @Syrup and Biscuits
I love all things strawberry and all things cobbler. Hello!
Hello! Can I get an A-MEN?
Winnie Mom
This strawberry cobbler looks delish! Only thing to make it a little better would be to use 1/2 strawberries and 1/2 rhubarb. Love a strawberry rhubarb pie but this would be much easier. Thanks for the recipes that use everyday ingredients.
That sounds great! Thanks! I’m not a big fan of fussy recipes and try my best to show that here on the blog.
Virginia Edwards
Think I could use Splendar instead of sugar in the Strawberry Cobbler recipe?
With the strawberries, it should be fine. But I’m not sure about the brown sugar topping. I know that they had Splenda Brown Sugar, but I’ve not sued it so I’m not exactly sure how it would work for the topping. If you try it, let me know how it turns out.
Belinda
I love that story….You are a great daddy and I am so proud of you. Remember when you and I played in the rain 🙂
Thanks, Mom! I remember several times playing in the rain with you! So many of those treasured memories are the inspiration for fun time with Jack. I want him to have the same experiences I did! I love ya!
Marylyn
Oh, my goodness this looks so good and I am not sure I have ever had a strawberry cobbler. I am going shopping on Friday and will make this for my own Mother’s Day treat this weekend.
Also, just wanted to tell you that I use and use and use the neat bowls that I won last year. The ones with the measurements inside the bowl. Today I mixed bran muffins in one of them. In went the flour to the two cup level, then the bran to the 3 1/2 cup level (I’ve learned to eyeball that half cup mark) and was thinking again how lucky I felt when I learned I had won them and what fun when they arrived at my doorstep. so thank you again — for the bowls and all the neat recipes, too.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying the bowls! I love them, too! Happy Mother’s Day!
Martha Furr
This sounds delicious! I’ll have to make it for my strawberry-loving son when he gets home from college. Some of my best childhood memories involve fresh blackberry cobbler made by my mother (blackberries picked by me)!
I have some of those same great memories about blackberries. I hope you and your son enjoy this one!
Martha Furr
My son and I made this strawberry cobbler together for Memorial Day. It was delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! I’m so glad y’all enjoyed it! I love to her about families in the kitchen together, too!
MO Kidd
Can you use Splenda in this recipe instead of real sugar? Can you use Swerve Brown Sugar instead of regular brown sugar?
Thank you
I’ve not tried that, so I can’t say for sure. I would imagine it would be fine, though.
Kathryne
thanks for the strawberry cobbler recipe. I made this years ago.
Do not get rid of your baby monitors. They are good to listen for washers and/or dryers being ready if you do are not close by. Very handy for me since mine are in the basement.
Also handy if someone may be ill and you can hear them from another room. My daughter used it when I had my surgery. Worked great.
Have a great day!!
You’re just filled with GREAT ideas for those monitors! Thanks for the ideas!
