Two Person Raspberry Crumbles
Featured comment
This is the best crumble recipe for two I have tried and I’ve tried a lot. I’ve made it with raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and mixed berries. It always turns out fantastic! I would give 100 stars if I could!

Question: what have I been making after dinner every night for three weeks straight?
Answer: TWO PERSON RASPBERRY CRUMBLES.
These sweet, jammy, buttery, lip-staining red berry crumbles are my summer everything right now.
They are conveniently sized for just two people so that you don’t have to make a full pan of raspberry bars when the hardcore craving for a juicy, berry-forward, summery dessert strikes, which, for us, is, like, nightly?
It’s fine. We’re fine.
Okay, let’s discuss the layers here.
- 1: Buttery-oat-brown-sugar crust layer. Texture lands somewhere between actual CRUST crust and gooey sugar cookie, just how I like.
- 2: Juicy, sticky, bubbly, raspberry layer. Also can be blueberry! Also can be strawberry! Fresh or frozen! I am a big fan of the work-with-what’s-in-your-fridge approach.
- 3: Buttery-oat-brown-sugar topping. Just the crumbs, sprinkled over top, to make this, you know, officially a crumble.
Being that these are already sitting in nice little ramekins, you have a big opportunity in front of you in the form of raspberry crumble TOPPINGS.
Ice cream? or whipped cream? or just leave it alone?
I’ve done them all, and pinkie swear, every path will lead you straight to raspberry crumble bliss. ❤️

Description
The BEST easy summer dessert – for two! A layer of oat-brown-sugar crust, juicy, sticky, bubbly raspberries, and topped with a buttery crumble that’s baked to perfection. YUM.
Ingredients
Scale
Berry Mixture:
- 1 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen berries (I have thoughts – see notes!)
- 2 tablespoons sugar (more or less depending on the tartness of your berries)
- 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
- squeeze of lemon juice
Crumble Layer:
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix: Gently mix up the berry mixture. Mix up the crumble in a separate bowl.
- Bake Part One: Press about two-thirds of the crumble into the bottom of two 4-inch ramekins. Bake for 5 minutes to set the crust (more for a firmer crust).
- Bake Part Two: Pour the berry filling over the crusts. Sprinkle the remaining crumble on top of each ramekin. Bake for 7-10 more minutes, until the fruit layer is bubbling and the crumbles are golden brown.
- Live It Up: Cooling for ten minutes is a good idea, but if you told me that it’s just not humanly possible, I would understand. Grab a fork, dive into the juicy, buttery layers, and never look back.

Notes
Berries: frozen raspberries or mixed berries work great for a really jammy, juicy fruit layer. If you’re using frozen berries, you need to thaw them first. I usually just run them under warm water. Fresh raspberries and blueberries also work really well because they kind of burst and release their juices a bit while baking. Fresh strawberries also work, but I would recommend chopping and then slightly mashing them first for best results to make them a bit more jammy.
Serving size: These definitely could serve more than two people if you were being rational about it, but honestly, I just don’t think you’re going to have a problem with leftovers.

Nice to meet you!
I’m Lindsay and I ♡ FOOD. I used to be a teacher, and now making food and writing about it online is my full-time job. I love talking with people about food, and I'm so glad you're here.
Did you make a recipe? Tag @pinchofyum on Instagram so we can find you!
Looking delicious and yummy. Thanks for wonderful recipe.
yum…. I would love this for dinner everyday for three weeks too!! Looks like a great recipe!
Wow! It’s super easy and looks so good! Thanks for sharing
Looks awesome — and potentially it could be made vegan if we used plant-based spread (instead of butter)? This is a winner, winner, who needs dinner!
I used coconut oil instead of butter and it was great!
That’s the type of delicious dessert you can eat before going to bed that won’t make you gain weight. Yummy! 🙂
Well thank you, now I’m craving this.
It just looks too good not to make right now …
YUM! I’ve been making some sort of cobbler/crisp/crumble every weekend because fruit is so good right now! Maybe I should stick to this size so I don’t eat the entire plate!
Oh my goodness, we’ve got raspberries in our garden right now and what a delicious way to use them! Fabulous recipe, thank you!!!
I had everything so made a frozen blueberry version! It was great! Will definitely make again!
Recipes that have been scaled down to 2 people are the best. 🙂
Great! I have never tried making crumble because the recipes are always for big ones. More two persons dessert recipes please! And thank you in advance 🙂
I was never a huge dessert person growing up, but now I’m such a fan of summery berry desserts!! This crumble looks fabulous 🙂
Hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Can you use rolled oats here?
Yep!
We have a massive raspberry patch in our yard, which is awesome, and I’m always looking for new raspberry recipes. This one was definitely a hit! I love the firm crust at the bottom. I didn’t have ramekins, so did it in a small pan and it still worked out great.
Awesome, glad to hear it!
How deep are the ramekins…how much do they hold?
We’d guess about 5-7 ounces!
Thank you so much for such a prompt reply!
Might try this with peaches!
Made this last night with fresh strawberries and it was delicious! The perfect dessert for two people, so quick and easy.
I love this recipe for a smaller portion, which is perfect for two people. No need to get those big pans out and make a bigger cake for everyday eating. I also replaced the flour with barley flour which gives it more nuttiness and sickness, and added a pinch of cinnamon to the crumb to my own preference.
If I don’t have ramekins what do you suggest I bake this in for best result? I was thinking of using a cupcake pan and just making more of them since they will be minis?
Yes, cupcake pan should work in a pinch – there maybe just be more of them, like you said!
I love how simple this is to whip up and a perfect answer to those sweet cravings at night 😀 Definitely need to make this <3
Wow! This sounds really good! I cant wait to try it! Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Made the bars version of this recipe and my fiancé LOVED them. Now I’m trying to play around with other fruits.
Do you think this would work with strawberries and rhubarb? I know rhubarb can be a little tougher and take longer to cook/soften up. I only have fresh rhubarb, but I have both fresh and frozen strawberries.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Sami! You’re correct – these don’t cook for long, so we probably wouldn’t recommend the rhubarb, but you could always cook it down a little bit beforehand the soften!
FYI – I ended up cooking some rhubarb down on the stove like you suggested, and added in frozen strawberries before popping these bad boys in the oven … DELICIOUS!!!
Awesome! Glad to hear it!
Made these with fresh blackberries I had on hand and it was SO worth turning the oven on!!!! Absolutely delicious and the perfect portion size. I will definitely be making this often.
(Forgot to do the rating on my other comment! Oops!)
Love that the recipe notes say “this could probably serve more than two people if you’re being rational about it.” Lol that cracked me up! I agree that it’s a 2 or 1-person serving 😉 Sounds delicious and looking forward to making this for my mom and I, thank you!
I love raspberries. This is going to make the perfect little dessert. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
