  • 8 large fresh mint leaves, shredded (optional)

For the crumble

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/ Gas 4. Mix the bilberries with the sugar, lemon juice, cornflour and mint, if using. Divide the mixture equally among four ramekins.

To make the crumble, mix together the flour, oats and sugar. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.

Top the berries with the crumble and put the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crumble is golden brown and the bilberries are bubbling. Leave to cool slightly, then serve with cream or custard.
