Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients
- 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.
- 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- ÂĽ 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.
Instructions
- 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.
Recipe Notes
I 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.
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
