Happy Friday! Oh, I’m so excited for today, the weekend, and to be able to share this yummy peach blackberry cobbler with you all. This might be one of my favorite recipes of the summer!!
Like most of us, these days I’m doing all the summer things I can. Time outside, soaking up the summer sun, and hitting the markets for the fresh summer produce that’s so plentiful right now.
My grocery store and local Whole Foods have had the best sweet summer berries, peaches, and gorgeous stone fruits the last few weeks. The fresh in-season produce has been so inspiring!
When I came home with way too many berries and peaches the other day, I knew I needed to create something sweet!
So here it is, my first sweet peach recipe of the season! And as I mentioned, it might be my favorite of the summer. I just adore this cobbler!!
Here are the details
Step 1: toss the berries and peaches
Grab a baking dish and mix the blackberries with the peaches. When it comes to berries, you can really use any variety but I’m partial to blackberries or blueberries. They add a sweetness and tartness that works so wonderfully with the peaches. I also love their dark color.
Toss the fruit mixture up with brown sugar and butter. Then, throw the dish in the oven to begin baking.
Step 2: make the batter
While the peaches are in the oven, make the batter. Essentially it’s just a pancake batter. In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour with milk and vanilla, and then, one very special ingredient.
Candied ginger!!
This is so unexpected, but you all, it really makes the cobbler so special and delicious!!
Step 3: grab the peaches and berries
Now grab the peaches from the oven and pour the batter over.
Some peaches will naturally float up to the top of the dish.
Step 4: bake!
Bake everything up until the sauce is bubbling and that topping is a rich, golden brown color and just barely set. It’s so pretty!!
At this point, your kitchen should smell amazing!! Hints of ginger, mixed with the sweetness of brown sugar, and really good fresh summertime peaches.
Step 5: Now we enjoy!
The one thing you must do is serve this warm, while the juices are bubbling up, and everything is smelling incredible. Add a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream – so yummy!
This is a classic summertime dessert that really should be happening on a bi-weekly basis throughout July, August, and even into September. It’s dangerously delicious, dangerously addicting, and all-around perfection! I just know you’ll love it!

Yeah, so I have no idea what people are talking about when they say this is just “meh.” It is summer cobbler perfection and I would eat the whole thing if I could.
The candied ginger is absolutely a bonus flavor, in what is already a delicious flavor profile. I hope I have enough summer left to get another one made.
Hi Sara! Wow, thank you so much! Love to hear you are enjoying this summer cobbler! I agree, the ginger adds a fun and bright flavor! So happy you felt the same! 🙂 xT
Hi, I’d like to make this for a large family BBQ. How can I make this earlier in the day?
Thanks.
Hey Beth,
I would just make in advance and store in an airtight container at room temp, that should work nicely for you! I hope you love this recipe! xT
Made this today and it turned out amazing! Blackberry cobbler is my favorite, but the peaches and candied ginger took it to a whole other level. Thank you!
Hey John,
Fantastic!! So glad to hear that this recipe was enjoyed, I appreciate you giving it a try and your comment! x
A friend made this for Christmas dessert. It was delicious ( loved the ginger.
I am definitely going to try this out soon !
Hey Deborah! Thank you so much! So glad you loved this recipe! 🙂 xT
I made this over the weekend and it was ok. My family and I would have preferred a more flavorful and best texture to the crust. I kept it in the oven in hopes the crust would come together, it did but tasted undercooked. I think there are better recipes out there. I have never had a problem with any HBH recipes, but this was missing something.
Hey Elizabeth, I’m really sorry that this cobbler didn’t turn out! Is there anything you did differently/substituted? Let me know how I can help! xT
Questions to clear my confusion: Do you use all purpose flour or wheat flour? do your pour the fruit over the batter, or the batter over the fruit? The narrative and the instructions differ
Hi Susan,
For this recipe, I used all purpose flour and you will pour the batter over the fruit. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
It clarifies it, thank you so much!
This cobbler was excellent!
In fact the small amount left over once my family got through with it was even better. The ginger came through more after overnight in the fridge and warming it a bit in the microwave. Well done!!
Thank you so much Marlene! xT
The fruit mixture was very tasty; not a big fan of the pancake-like batter, though. Not what I think of when I want a cobbler. Still liked it, but won’t make it again.
Thanks for letting me know! xT
Would blueberries work instead of blackberries?
I think that should work well! xT
Made this recipe tonight for my family and to say it was INCREDIBLE is an understatement!! I followed the recipe exactly as is and it turned out to be the perfect summer dessert! Thank you Tieghan(:
So glad you loved this cobbler! Thanks for trying out the recipe! xT
So so. Used tayberries which had too much juice once they went into the oven with the brown sugar. Used light brown sugar for the topping. The color never changed from the light gray brown shown above as the uncooked version of the dish. It wasn’t very attractive even though it was cooked. I’m not the one to criticize any recipe that has sugar in it, but this one was too sweet.
Hi there! Thanks for trying out the recipe, I’m sorry it didn’t turn out like you hoped! I haven’t ever used tayberries in this dish before, but good to know they may not be best for it! xT
