Ingredients

Fruit Filling

  • 3 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Crisp Topping

  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F degrees.

  2. Arrange 6 oven safe, 4-oz sized ramekins on a cookie sheet. Set aside.

  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine blueberries, lemon zest, corn starch and brown sugar. As much as possible, keep the blueberries intact during mixing. They will pop and become juicy during cooking. Evenly distribute this fruit mixture into the 6 ramekins. 

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the butter cubes, oats, flour and brown sugar. Using a pastry blender, or a fork, or your hands, blend and mix together. Evenly distribute this crumble crisp topping on top of the blueberry mixture in each of the ramekins. 

  5. Bake for approximately 35 minutes, until golden brown on top. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving as the blueberry mixture will be syrupy and bubbling hot. Can also be enjoyed with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
