I love that this Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp does not have a bunch of fat added to it.
To me, it just seems a bit healthier this way.

Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp

The perfect way to enjoy oatmeal with your blueberries in a baked dessert.
Even better, this recipe is made without adding a lot of extra ingredients.

This recipe is a lot like my Blueberry Oatmeal Quinoa Bar Recipe.

However, that recipe is focused around the quinoa while this recipe is about the oatmeal and the blueberries.
Also, while you could cut this crumble into bars, it is not necessarily a bar recipe.

My biggest question is what is the difference between a crisp and a crumble.

I think that a lot of people may use the terms interchangeably probably because they do seem to be alike in many ways.However, there technically does seem to be a difference between the two.

Yes, in the baking of fruit in desserts there is a difference between a crisp and a crumble.

This recipe reminds me of both a crumble and a crisp which is the reason why I am even bringing this difference up. Technically speaking I suppose, a crumble has a sweet topping while a crisp has more of an oat topping without all of the sweetness of a crumble.

This Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp recipe is a good one for anyone asking how do you use extra blueberries.

I will say that this recipe is comprised of a basic filling that is made with the blueberries.
Then there is the oatmeal topping which forms the crisp part of the recipe.

Something that I have learned is that the crisp topping of any baked fruit dessert can be a personal preference thing.

Some folks enjoy a lot of crisp which can mean having to make extra crisp topping. If this is you, feel free to double the crisp portion of this recipe in order to cover your entire blueberry filling.

Tips for making a crisp.

I just mentioned that this recipe is made in two parts- the blueberry filling and the topping. If you are interested in a more topping that covers your filling more generously, feel free to double the topping portion of this recipe in order to do so.

Here are some more great tips for making this recipe.

  1. This recipe calls for using brown sugar. Feel free to use a granular brown sugar alternative that is suitable for a recipe such as this one instead. Alternatively, you could regular sugar instead.
  2. Using frozen blueberries is an option for this recipe too. I would however suggest that the blueberries are thawed out first. This will allow for a more stable baking as well as limit the amount of moisture that they blueberries can bring to this recipe.
  3. Lastly, allow the blueberry crisp to cool on a rack after removing it from the oven. This will help the topping to get crisp.

My inner adult urges me to eat any kind of a crisp with appreciation for the wonderful fruit that is in it.

However, there are some great ways to make a blueberry crisp even better.
Somehow, I feel like I have to put this out there despite the added calories etc.

You can make your blueberry oatmeal crisp even yummier in the way that you serve it up.

Vanilla ice cream, think a la mode, offers a decadent yet, somewhat perfect balance to just about any kind of a crisp recipe. I like to serve a fruit based dessert like this one with a light sparkling wine as well.

There are some ways to personalize this recipe for a blueberry crisp.

This recipe calls for chopped almonds in the topping. Feel free to sub in or add in a fiber rich cereal or another kind of chopped nut.

Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp

Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp

The recipe for Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp.

As mentioned above, this recipe is made in two parts- the blueberry filling and the topping. If you are interested in a more topping that covers your filling more generously, feel free to double the topping portion of this recipe in order to do so.

Also mentioned earlier, this recipe calls for using brown sugar.

Feel free to use a granular brown sugar alternative that is suitable for a recipe such as this one instead. Alternatively, you could regular sugar instead

The ingredients needed to make this Mediterranean Diet Friendly Blueberry Crisp.

I will start with the ingredients for the filling.

  • Blueberries- 1 pound. That is about three and a half cups, depending on the size of your blueberries of course. Using frozen blueberries is an option for this recipe too. I would however suggest that the blueberries are thawed out first. This will allow for a more stable baking as well as limit the amount of moisture that they blueberries can bring to this recipe.
  • Granulated Sugar– 1 tablespoon. Feel free to use a sugar alternative, preferably a granular sugar alternative that measures 1:1 with sugar.
  • Cornstarch– ½ tablespoon.
  • Salt– ½ teaspoon (basically, a pinch).

The ingredients needed to make the crisp topping.

  • Oats– 1 ½ cups. I like old fashion oats for this recipe. Double this if you want your topping to cover the entire crisp.
  • Brown Sugar- ¼ cup (packed). Double this if you want your topping to cover the entire crisp.
  • White Granulated Sugar– ¼ cup. Double this if you want your topping to cover the entire crisp.
  • Ground Cinnamon- ½ teaspoon. Double this if you want your topping to cover the entire crisp.
  • Butter- 3 tablespoons chopped into small cubes. Alternative ideas that are more Mediterranean diet friendly include butter alternatives that are derived from plants (I have seen these popping up in the refrigerator department at my local grocery store) or nut based options (nut butters?). You may need to adjust the recipe by adding less of the butter alternative or more of the oats. Another idea is to go 50/50 with butter and an alternative. Double this if you want your topping to cover the entire crisp.
  • Chopped Almonds– ⅓ cup. Feel free to sub in or add in a fiber rich cereal or another kind of chopped nut. Double this if you want your topping to cover the entire crisp.

 

How to make this Blueberry Oatmeal Crisp.

  • Prepare a 2 quart baking dish for nonstick. Also, preheat your oven to 375.
  • Prepare the filling by tossing together the blueberries, sugar (first sugar mentioned), cornstarch, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Then transfer the tossed ingredients to your prepared baking dish.
  • Next, in a large mixing bowl, toss together the remaining ingredients (oats, sugars, cinnamon, butter, and almonds). You want this mixture to be crumbly so hold off adding any ingredients for adjustments until needed. Once this topping is crumbly you can cover the blueberry filling in the prepared baking dish with it. Distribute the topping as evenly as possible.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the fruit mixture bubbles and the topping starts to brown. Allow the blueberry crisp to cool on a rack after removing it from the oven. This will help the topping to get crisp.
