    • The crisp topping perfectly balances the soft syrupy blueberry filling

    Ingredients

    Ingredient Notes

    Blueberries - Fresh in-season blueberries are a real treat in this dessert. However, you can substitute with frozen.

    Sugar - Granulated sugar adds a touch of sweetness to the blueberries without masking their flavor. You can substitute with brown sugar.

    Cornstarch - As the blueberries bake, they release a lot of juices. Cornstarch helps to thicken the juices a bit and make a nice sauce.

    Oats - Old-fashioned rolled oats, also called oatmeal, give the topping a nice chewiness. You can substitute with quick-cooking oats but avoid steel-cut oats as they won't cook in time.

    Almonds - Sliced almonds provide extra crunch and texture and the combination of almond and blueberry flavors can't be beaten!

    Butter - Melted unsalted butter gives the topping its crispiness as well as adds flavor.

    Step By Step Instructions

    Note: Full list of ingredients, their amounts, and instructions can be found in the recipe card below.

    Step 1:

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 7x11 or 9x9 baking dish with butter.

    Step 2:

    Step 5:

    Bake for about 35 minutes or until the blueberries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown and crispy.

    Step 6:

    Allow the crisp to cool for about 20 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.

    Variations

    • If you like the combination of lemon with blueberry, add a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and a bit of lemon zest to the blueberry mixture
    • For a more unexpected flavor, add a bit of minced fresh basil, rosemary, or mint to the blueberries
    • Switch up the spices. While cinnamon and blueberry make a great pair, other spices like cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg also go perfectly with blueberries

    Storage & Reheating

    Cover the crisp with plastic wrap or reusable beeswax wraps.

    Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    If you want to warm the crisp back up, reheat it in a 375 degree F oven for 10 minutes or microwave in 15-second increments until warmed through.
