  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix the white sugar and cornstarch together. Add the fresh blackberries and gently toss to coat.
  3. In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Pour in the melted brown butter and milk, stirring until just combined.
Assembly and Baking

  2. Dollop the topping batter over the blackberries.
  3. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the blackberries are bubbly.
  4. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Best enjoyed warm, perhaps with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor. Adjust sweetness based on berry tartness. Incorporate lemon zest or nutmeg for extra flavor. Properly brown the butter for enhanced taste. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
