This easy Blueberry Crisp recipe is one of the easiest desserts! Make it with fresh or frozen blueberries and top with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. The juicy blueberries are bursting with flavor are topped with the perfect crisp topping.
As you know, I absolutely love an easy dessert recipe that I can whip up with some pantry ingredients.
Right now, we are getting ready to head into blueberry season and this Blueberry Crisp Recipe is the perfect recipe to enjoy with your bounty of blueberries. I am always picking up fresh berries at the farmers market or Whole Foods. My favorite recipes include blueberry pie and blueberry muffins.
While using fresh blueberries is always best, that is just not feasible all the time. So feel free to use frozen blueberries next time you make this delicious dessert.
Frozen berries sort of melt in your recipe as they bake, while using fresh fruit stays more intact throughout the baking process and will have more of a burst when you take a bite. Making a homemade blueberry crisp is a great option to enjoy sweet blueberries.
How to Make the Best Blueberry Crisp:
Ingredients to have on hand:
- 4 cups of blueberries
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- ground cinnamon
- old fashioned oats
- all purpose flour
- sliced almonds or chopped walnuts or pecans (or a combo of all 3!)
- honey
- unsalted butter, room temperature
- pinch of salt
I like to make my blueberry crisp recipe in a cast iron skillet. But, if that is something you don’t own, no worries. Just cook your blueberry crisp in a pie dish or a square baking dish.
To get started making your blueberry filling by placing the blueberries in a large bowl. Add the maple syrup, cinnamon and salt. Toss to combine and set aside.
In a separate bowl make your crumble topping by combining your dry ingredients: combine flour, nuts and old-fashioned oats. Stir in the honey and melted butter.
Stir until the oats are thoroughly coated and well combined.
Pour blueberry mixture into your casserole dish and spread into an even layer.
Spread the crunchy oat topping evenly across in a uniform layer on top of the berries.I suggest baking your blueberry crumble on top of a baking sheet.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for a baking time of about a half hour. If at this point if you have golden brown crumbles, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent it from over browning.
Bake an additional 15-20 minutes or until the blueberry juices are bubbling.
Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
While my readers favorite ways to serve this delicious recipe is warm with yogurt, whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. This blueberry cobbler can be refrigerated for 2-3 days when wrapped in plastic wrap.
Yes. Steel Cut Oats won’t cook right in this recipe and Quick or Instant Oats cook too quick.
Instead of maple syrup and honey, you can use brown sugar or a little sugar to change the subtle sweetness.
Blueberry and lemon are two flavors that go hand in hand. So, add a little lemon zest or fresh lemon juice in your mix.
Switch out the blueberries for any easy fruit you love to make a variety of fruit crisps – rhubarb crisp, apple crisp, etc.
One of the best things about this recipe is how versatile it is! Swap out the flour for almond flour or almond meal.
