Description
A delicious and easy-to-make Brown Butter Blueberry Crisp that combines fresh blueberries with a crunchy oat topping.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the butter turns a golden brown color and has a nutty aroma, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in the brown butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is crumbly. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
- In a greased 8×8-inch baking dish, spread the fresh blueberries evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the oat mixture over the blueberries, covering them completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a twist, add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the blueberry layer for a refreshing citrus flavor.
- Substitute half of the blueberries with raspberries or strawberries for a mixed berry crisp.
