Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prepare the crock pot
Begin by ensuring your crock pot is clean and dry. Set it to the low setting for the entire cooking process.
Mix dry ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well blended.
Add wet ingredients
In the same bowl, add milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Incorporate blueberries and lemon
Gently fold in fresh blueberries and lemon zest into the batter. Be careful not to crush the blueberries.
Transfer to the crock pot
Pour the batter into the prepared crock pot, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Prepare the topping mixture
In a separate bowl, combine additional sugar and lemon juice. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Add topping to the batter
Drizzle the lemon-sugar mixture over the top of the batter in the crock pot. This will create a sauce as it cooks.
Cover and cook
Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, or until the top is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check for doneness
After the initial cooking time, check the cobbler. If it’s not fully set, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
Serve and enjoy
Once done, carefully remove the lid and let it cool slightly before serving. Scoop into bowls and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
