Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Baking dish (8x8 or similar)
  • Oven
  • Spoon or spatula

Ingredients
  

For the berries:

  • 4 cups fresh blackberries 
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch  for that thick, jammy vibe

For the topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup butter  melted, because we don’t have time for softening
  • Optional: a lil’ cinnamon or nutmeg if you’re feeling spicy

Instructions
 

  • Get those berries talkin’
    I tossed the blackberries into a bowl with sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, and cornstarch. Gave it all a gentle stir — like, “Hey guys, let’s get cozy.” Let it sit for 10 minutes so they could do their juicy thing.
  • The easiest topping ever
    In another bowl (with a questionable amount of confidence), I mixed the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Then poured in the milk and melted butter and stirred it all together. It looked a little lumpy, but I decided it was rustic.
  • Assemble the masterpiece
    I dumped the berry mix into a baking dish — it already looked like a sunset in a bowl. Then I spooned the topping all over, not too careful, just loving the mess. Don’t worry if it doesn’t cover every inch. That’s part of the charm.
  • Bake + inhale the goodness
    Popped it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 35–40 minutes. And honey… when that smell hit the air? I legit paused the show I was watching and just stood there. It smelled like summer had a baby with a bakery.
  • Let it cool (or don’t)
    I tried to wait 10 minutes before digging in. Tried. Failed. Burned my tongue and zero regrets.

Notes

  • Use frozen berries straight from the freezer; add extra cornstarch to avoid sogginess
  • Don’t overmix topping; lumps add rustic charm
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for best experience
  • Customize with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or add almond extract for extra flavor
