🌙 Midnight Berry Crumble
Mixed berries kissed by the oven, wrapped in a golden oat crumble, and served warm with creamy vanilla magic. Best enjoyed under stars or blankets.
Ingredients (serves 4–6):
Berry Base:
- 4 cups mixed berries (fresh or frozen — think blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries)
- 2 tbsp sugar or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp cornstarch (for thickening)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Crumble Topping:
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup flour (AP or almond for gluten-free)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup butter (cold, cubed) or coconut oil
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
375°F (190°C). Light a candle for extra ambiance while it heats 🔥 - Berry Time:
In a bowl, mix berries with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and vanilla. Pour into a small baking dish. - Make the Crumble:
In another bowl, combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add butter and use your fingers to work it into a crumbly texture (like damp sand with buttery dreams). - Assemble & Bake:
Sprinkle crumble generously over berries. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until golden on top and bubbling around the edges. - Serve It Hot:
Spoon into bowls and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or Greek yogurt if you’re feelin’ wholesome.
