It’s that time of year…time to dust off the patio table and chairs, fire up the grill and celebrate summer with this Simple Summer Berry Cobbler Recipe!
Summer is my favorite time of year and it’s not just the long, lazy hot days at the beach that bring a smile to my face…
Simple Summer Berry Cobbler Recipe
Though they are pretty nice!
One of my favorite things about summer is that somehow, magically, my family wants to load up on the fruits, veggies and grilled food during the summer months!
Maybe it’s all that summertime heat that makes them enjoy fresh fruits and veggies more – all I know is that I’m grateful!
I love making fresh fruit salads, pies and cobblers during the summer. Pies and cobblers just scream “backyard bbq,” don’t they?
The problem with cobblers and pies is that they usually have a ton of sugar in them. Fruit is sweet enough, why do all of those recipes call for so much added sugar?
Fruit is nature’s candy!
A great way to alter those time-honored summertime recipes is by substituting SPLENDA® Sugar Blend for the sugar. Just make sure to check the conversion chart on the back of the SPLENDA® Sweeteners package, as it doesn’t always convert cup for cup.
In this Simple Summer Berry Cobbler recipe, I replaced the 1 1/2 cups of regular sugar with just 3/4 cup of SPLENDA® Sugar Blend. I really liked the way it turned out, it was still a sweet cobbler, but I felt better knowing that I wasn’t adding on a ton of sugar.
Oh wait, I think it’s missing something…
Maybe a little sugar-free or no-added sugar whipped topping?
YES, PLEASE.

Cobblers are my favorite summer desserts. I can’t wait for our berries to start coming in so I can get to making some. Yours looks delicious.
Cobblers are my favorite dessert of all time! This is going on my hit list to try! Blueberry cobbler YUM!! Great time of year to try it too!
Great info! I do not cook anything that requires Splenda, but love using it in my coffee. If only I had an oven that I could use, I would love to make this recipe!
They say if berries are sour. Splenda will work better than sugar in cobblers.
I love cobblers and buckles and betties and crisps…pretty much anything with fruit and a doughy topping
This looks delicious! I love how easy it is to make too. Perfect for a summer dessert!
I definitely like to bake with a sugar substitute and I always use it in my morning coffee!!!
This looks great! I love berry recipes for when we go berry picking. These little cobblers sound easy to make and delicious too.
Thanks for sharing this! I LOVE cobblers, but I never make them because of all the sugar. This is great!
Looks delicious! I love fruit desserts and topped with whipped cream makes them even tastier!
Wow! That looks incredible. I’m so impressed. Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you stopping by to party with us. We hope to see you, Monday at 7 pm. Happy Sunday! Lou Lou Girls
It looks delicious! My kids have been picking fresh blueberries off the bushes and I think they would enjoy this. Thanks for sharing it.
ummm…looks so good. I make these using crescent rolls, stuffed into a muffin ten and berries on top…much like the Pineapple upside Down Mini cakes on my post today.
I just love cobbler and your Berry Cobbler looks delicious! Hope you are having a great day and thanks so much for sharing your awesome post with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I have yet to make any berry cobblers this year, but this posting is all of the encouragement that I need. I am drooling looking at these.
