Can I make these crumbles gluten-free?

Absolutely! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with your favorite gluten-free flour blend and make sure your oats are certified gluten-free. The texture might be slightly different, but the result will still be delicious.

What if my berries are very sweet or very tart?

This recipe is wonderfully flexible. If your berries are particularly sweet, reduce the sugar to 1 tablespoon. For very tart berries, increase to 3 tablespoons. Taste your berries before mixing and adjust accordingly.

Can I prepare these in advance for a dinner party?

Yes! Assemble the crumbles completely up to the point of baking, then refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to serve, bake as directed, adding 2-3 minutes to the baking time since they'll be starting cold.

Why is my berry filling too runny?

This could happen if your berries were particularly juicy or if the cornstarch wasn't thoroughly mixed with the berries. For extra insurance against runniness, you can increase the cornstarch to 3/4 tablespoon, particularly when using frozen berries.

Instructions

Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Mix: Gently mix all the ingredients for the berry mixture in one bowl until combined. In a separate bowl, mix all the crumble layer ingredients until it comes together.
Bake Part One: Take two 4-inch ramekins and press about two-thirds of the crumble mixture into the bottom of each. Bake the ramekins for about 5 minutes to set the crust. If you prefer a firmer crust, bake a bit longer.
Bake Part Two: Remove the ramekins from the oven. Pour the berry mixture evenly over each crust. Sprinkle the remaining crumble evenly on top of each ramekin. Return to the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the fruit filling is bubbling and the crumble topping turns golden brown.
Live It Up: Allow the crumbles to cool for at least 10 minutes if possible. This helps to set the layers. If waiting isn’t an option, dive straight in with a fork and enjoy the juicy, buttery goodness!

Notes

You can use any combination of berries you like – try raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, or a mix!
Adjust the sugar in the berry mixture based on how tart or sweet your berries are naturally.
If you want a firmer crust, bake for a longer time during the first phase of the recipe.
These crumbles are best served warm but are equally delicious at room temperature.
