Key Ingredients
Blackberries – This delightful berry is juicy, sweet, and just a tiny bit tangy. Blackberries will taste a tad more sour earlier in the season (think May/June), then turn much sweeter towards the end of their growing season (July/August). Give your blackberries a taste before adding them to this recipe and adjust the amount of sugar as you see necessary. Super sweet blackberries? Try just 1/4 cup of sugar in the filling. Very sour blackberries? Then add a couple extra tablespoons of sugar! Oats – Any type of oat will work in this blackberry crumble recipe. I used and prefer rolled oats, however quick oats, or even old-fashioned oats will bake up just as delicious! Rolled oats and old-fashioned oats are thicker and heartier than quick oats.
Chef’s Tips
Leave this blackberry crumble to cool for about 20 minutes before serving. The blackberry filling will thicken while it cools which is necessary for the integrity of this dessert. Feel free to wait even longer before serving, though I prefer this delicious dish slightly warm with a scoop of melty vanilla ice cream!Make this recipe even easier on yourself by using the same bowl to mix together both the filling and the topping. There’s no need to use two separate bowls here when all ingredients end up in the same baking dish anyway!Feel free to add in any other berries you’d like to this blackberry crumble! A handful of fresh blueberries or some fresh sliced strawberries would make delicious additions to this dessert recipe.
