Oat Crisps with Blueberries and Crème Fraîche
Oat Crisps with Blueberries and Crème Fraîche

Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 1/4 ounces (2 1/2 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 pints blueberries (about 4 cups)
1 cup crème fraîche

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and corn syrup and stir until blended. Stir in the oats, mixing well.
To form the crisps, drop the oats mixture by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart. Bake, rotating the baking sheets 180 degrees at the midway point, until golden brown and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets. Then, using a metal spatula, transfer the crisps to a large flat plate to cool.

To serve:
Divide the blueberries and crème fraîche among individual bowls and place 2 oat crisps alongside or on top of each serving.

Plan Ahead
The oat crisps may be made a day in advance. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
