# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Ready faster than ordering takeout, and you control every ingredient.
  • Uses whatever berries you have on hand, no waste or fuss.
  • Delivers that warm, comforting cobbler experience without heating up the whole kitchen.
02 -
  • Do not overfill the mug or the batter will overflow in the microwave. Use a 12 to 14 ounce mug and leave space at the top.
  • Microwave times vary, so start with 90 seconds and add more time if needed. Overcooked cobbler gets rubbery.
  • Frozen berries work just as well as fresh, but they release more liquid, so expect extra syrup at the bottom.
03 -
  • Melt the butter in the same mug you will use for baking, then pour it into your batter. One less dish to wash.
  • If your berries are very tart, add an extra teaspoon of sugar to the batter or toss the berries with a little sugar before adding them to the mug.
  • Use a mug with straight sides instead of one that tapers, so the batter cooks evenly and rises without spilling over.
