Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 200g blueberries
- 50g flour
- 50g oats
- 25g butter
- 25g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or two individual ramekins with butter.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh blueberries with half of the sugar and vanilla extract. Gently mix to coat the berries and let them sit for 5 minutes to release their natural juices.
- In a separate bowl, create the crumble topping by mixing the flour, oats, remaining sugar, and softened butter. Use your fingertips to blend the ingredients until they form a crumbly, sandy texture.
- Spread the prepared blueberries evenly in the greased baking dish or ramekins.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture generously over the top of the blueberries, ensuring complete coverage.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. The crumble can be served warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Tips
- Choose Fresh Berries: For the most vibrant flavor, use fresh, ripe blueberries. If using frozen berries, don't thaw them first to prevent excess moisture.
- Room Temperature Butter: Ensure your butter is softened but not melted for the perfect crumble texture. This helps create those delightful, crispy crumble clusters.
- Don't Overmix the Crumble: Use your fingertips to mix the crumble topping, stopping when it resembles coarse, sandy crumbs. Overmixing can make the topping tough.
- Serving Suggestions: While delicious on its own, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream can elevate this dessert to next-level indulgence.
- Make Ahead Tip: You can prepare the crumble topping and prepare the blueberry base in advance, storing them separately in the refrigerator. Assemble and bake just before serving for maximum freshness.
