Mini blueberry crumble made with a handful of blueberries and topped with a crisp, buttery oat topping. A wonderful single serving dessert! Quick, easy, and so delicious!
5-inch baking dish, or use a 4x6-inch baking dish, a 6x6-inch dish (this size will yield a thinner blueberry filling, less crumble topping, and it may bake faster), or a 6-inch round dish

Notes
Use Fresh Fruit: The fresher the blueberries, the more flavorful the result.
Check Doneness: The edges should be bubbling and the top golden brown.
Preheat Oven: Always start with a hot oven for even cooking.
Tailor Your Sugar: Taste your blueberries before mixing them into the recipe. If they're tart, consider adding a bit more sugar for balance. If they're naturally sweet, feel free to reduce the sugar to suit your taste. This personalized approach ensures you get the perfect level of sweetness every time.
