BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE
Blackberry Crumble is one of my favorites and is so quick and easy to make. Blackberries are not safe around me because I love them. Just add some ice cream or whipped cream for a great dessert to serve family and friends. Blackberry crumble is an old fashioned recipe that has been around for a while. Make this blackberry crumble and enjoy it with your coffee. This makes a delicious treat to serve for any occasion or take it to a pot luck or any gathering.
Blackberry Crumble
3 cups fresh blackberries (could use frozen) or enough to cover the bottom of an 8 x 8 inch baking dish
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick or 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Sprinkle blackberries with white sugar and mix well. Let stand about 10 minutes. Spray an 8 x 8 baking dish with cooking spray and spread blackberries in bottom of dish. Whisk together oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon and flour. Cut butter into flour mixture until resembles coarse crumbs. (I cut my butter into small pieces and then cut it into the flour mixture with a fork). Spread flour mixture over the top of the blackberries. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 35 minutes until brown on top. Makes about 8 servings. Enjoy!

Mmmm!!! OMG! I tweaked it just a bit and added chopped pecans and shredded coconut to the topping. I also added about a tbs of cornstarch and an extra cup of Oregon’s finest blackberries. I also only used half the topping because I wanted mostly berries. Next time I will cut the sugar in half but otherwise the base recipe is fabulous! Oh and i added a squeeze of lemon and a touch of vanilla to berries.
Great !
Delicious, but mine came out very juicy. Will definitely make this again, but will add some corn starch or flour to the berry/sugar mixture next time.
I’ve made this recipe five times this summer. My friends and family devour it and I love how easy it is!
Thank you so much for this recipe! Needed a quick solution for a forgotten “pot luck” invite. Easy to assemble with freshly-picked blackberries. It’s in the oven and smells amazing! Thanks again!
This is a great recipe. Made this ultimate dessert today with fresh blackberries from my own back yard that I’ve been blessed with. Only added 5 cups of blackberries since I wanted more flavor from them, 1 tsp vanilla extract & 1 packet of true lemon to the berries & sugar for added flavor. Used same amount of crumble as indicated. Berry juice baked up thru the topping & My-Oh-My this dessert is SO good! Thanks for posting it!
So glad it was such a hit!
This was delicious! We topped it with cool whip, but it’s probably great with vanilla ice cream as well! I used gluten free flour.
I’m so glad it it was such a hit! It’s one of our favorites.
In the oven now…smells heavenly ♡
Is it better served warm or cold?
I like it warm from the oven but if you have leftovers it is good cold, too, or you can always reheat in the microwave.
Can I use a different fruit. I Do not care for blackberries. Thank you for recipes. Really love your posts.
Yes, you could do that Linda.
Made this and I was so happy. Turned out great. Thanks for making it an easy recipe.
Just got this out of the oven and it was AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!
So happy you enjoyed the Blackberry Crumble, Kayla. Thank you for letting me know. Have a great weekend.
We have a huge abundance of blackberries on our farm. I will be trying your recipe very soon!
going to try this with fresh blueberrys
If I don’t have oatmeal can I still make it with strawberries instead of blackberries okay
This looks delicious and I can’t wait to try it!
This is equally good with whatever fresh fruits are in season- peaches, apricots, a selection of berries, apples, pears… just macerate them in sugar as described for the blackberries. And for a twist, add a little vanilla or almond extract to the fruit, and some finely chopped nuts to the topping mix.
I have fresh blackberries in my freezer from the local farmer so I am going to make this. yummy!!!
I wonder if you can get blackberries that are seedless… My husband will not like it with the seeds…
Yes, you can Reda.
Instead if oats what can you use ???
I only make this with oats, Linda. I don’t know.
Maybe grape nuts, or flour, or a flaked cereal?
Try using brown rice cereal.
My husband would probably like this. Have never eaten a blackberry and they cost a fortune here.
Blackberries are delicious. My Mama made Blackberry Cobbler with a perfect crust and it was the absolute best dessert!
Frozen is great if fresh is too dear. Used to make something similar when I was a “lunch lady” at a boys’ school in the late ’70s after graduating from Cooking School.
I am going to make this dish…
