Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 350°F/177°C. Line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper so that it hangs over the sides. Set aside.
For the crust and crumble: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Using a food processor, pastry blender, or two knives, cut cold butter into the mixture until it resembles a coarse meal.
For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the blackberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Press half of the oat mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spread the blackberry mixture over the crust into an even layer.
Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the blackberry layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the blackberries are bubbling and the crumble is lightly golden brown.
Transfer the baking pan to a cooling rack and cool until room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before cutting and serving.
