Top tip
To make this scrumptious treat you'll need blueberries or cranberries, cinnamon, butter, an egg, oats, flour, and of course maple syrup. The key is to not be afraid of using plenty of butter – you want your crisp top to be crispy but also moist within the elements. Once your top browns and slightly bubbles, the yummy filling inside will make magic happen! Lastly, the trick to making sure it's extra-crispy on top is to cook it a little longer in the oven until golden brown - melted maple syrup blended with fruity berries makes a wonderful combination that can't go wrong!
