Ingredients

For the Cobbler Batter:

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

• 1/2 cup coconut oil

• 1 cup self-rising flour

• 1 cup buttermilk

• 3/4 cup raw sugar

For the Fruit Filling & Skillet:

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter (to melt in the skillet)

• 3 fresh peaches, sliced

• 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries

• 2 cups fresh blueberries

• 1/2 cup raw sugar (or more, to taste, for sprinkling)

• 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter, sliced (for the top)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Skillet

• Preheat your oven to 375°F.

• Place one stick of butter directly into a 12 to 14-inch cast iron skillet and place it in the oven to melt.

Step 2: Whisk the Wet Ingredients

• In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, baking powder, vanilla extract, and coconut oil.

• Whisk everything together until perfectly smooth.

Step 3: Finish the Batter

• Add the self-rising flour, buttermilk, and 3/4 cup of raw sugar to your wet ingredients.

• Mix well until a smooth batter forms.

Step 4: Assemble the Cobbler

• Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven and pour the batter directly into the melted butter (do not stir).

• Place your fresh sliced peaches in a ring around the outer edges of the batter.

• Fill the inside of the peach ring with the blackberries and blueberries, piling in as many as will fit without overflowing.

Step 5: Top and Bake

• Sprinkle 1/2 cup (or more) of raw sugar generously over the top of the fruit and batter.

• Scatter the slices of the second stick of butter evenly across the top.

• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the outer crust is golden brown and set.

• Turn the heat down to 350°F and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes until the inside fruit layer is completely hot and bubbly.

Tips for the Best Triple Berry and Peach Skillet Cobbler

1. Use a Hot Skillet: Make sure your melted butter and skillet are piping hot when you pour the batter in; this helps create that irresistible, crispy edge.

2. Don’t Stir the Layers: Pour the batter into the butter, and place the fruit on top of the batter without stirring anything together—the oven does all the magic for you!

3. Adjust the Sugar: If your summer berries are particularly tart, don’t be afraid to add a slightly heavier sprinkle of raw sugar over the top before baking.

Why This Skillet Cobbler Is So Special

There is something so deeply comforting about baking a dessert inspired by what is growing right outside your own back door. When my daughter proudly handed me those fresh berries she picked herself, it instantly reminded me of my own childhood summers spent gathering fruit in the warm Southern sun. Baking this cobbler in a heavy iron skillet fills my home with a sweet, buttery aroma that feels like a warm hug, making any ordinary afternoon feel incredibly special and full of love.

Serving and Storing

• Serve Warm: Let the skillet rest for just a few minutes, then serve it piping hot with a giant scoop of melting vanilla ice cream right on top.

• Store Leftovers: Cover the completely cooled skillet tightly with foil or transfer leftovers to an airtight container, store in the fridge for up to 3 days, and reheat individual bowls in the microwave for a warm treat.
