Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, combine 2 cups fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, stirring until sugar dissolves and berries are coated.
  2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Add 3 tbsp unsalted butter and use a fork to cut until crumbly and pea-sized.
  3. Step 3: Pour berry mixture into a 9-inch baking dish and sprinkle oat crumble evenly over the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and berries are bubbling around the edges.
