Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, gently combine the fresh blackberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Toss carefully to ensure the blackberries are evenly coated without crushing them.
- In a separate bowl, mix the old-fashioned rolled oats, brown sugar, and remaining all-purpose flour. Add the cold cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend the mixture until it resembles a crumbly texture with small pea-sized pieces.
- Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and evenly spread the blackberry mixture across the bottom.
- Generously sprinkle the oat topping over the blackberries, ensuring an even distribution.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the blackberries are bubbling and the topping is a lovely golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes to set before serving.
- Serve warm, topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of temperatures and textures.
Tips
- For an extra flavor boost, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the blackberry mixture.
- You can substitute the blackberries with other seasonal berries such as blueberries or raspberries, or a combination of fruits for an interesting twist.
- If you prefer a healthier option, you can use coconut oil instead of butter, which adds a unique flavor and is dairy-free.
