How to make blueberry crisp with frozen blueberries
First, add the frozen blueberries to a bowl along with the other blueberry crisp filling ingredients: sugar, cornstarch, salt, and cinnamon.
You want to do this step first to allow the blueberries a little time to defrost.
Around 5 – 10 minutes is just right, and the blueberries will mix better with the cornstarch and sugar the longer they sit.
When you first mix them up, the filling will look like this:
The picture below is what they will look like once a few minutes have passed and you stir them again.
While the blueberries start to defrost, go ahead and make the crisp topping.
By the time you finish the filling should be ready to be stirred again.
How to make the blueberry crisp topping
To make the topping, you will need the following ingredients:
- brown sugar
- whole wheat flour
- rolled oats
- salt
- coconut oil
- unsalted butter
Measure the coconut oil and butter while solid, then melt until smooth in the microwave.
Add the melted coconut oil and butter to a mixing bowl with the remaining crisp topping ingredients.
Stir with a spoon or rubber spatula until combined.
The topping should resemble wet sand.
Now that your filling and crisp topping are ready, it is time to bake!
Add the blueberry filling to a pie dish, or other small baking dish.
Spread the crisp topping evenly over the top and place into a preheated 350 degree oven.
Bake for 50 – 60 minutes, or until the filling is nice and bubbly and the crisp topping is browned.
Watch carefully those last few minutes to make sure you get the top browned without burning it!
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for ultimate yumminess.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes! That is easy to do.
Simply substitute the butter for vegan butter and the recipe is now vegan.
How to make blueberry crisp gluten free?
To make the crisp gluten free, all you need to do is change out the whole wheat flour in the crisp topping and use gluten free oat flour instead.
Can I use another flour besides whole wheat?
Sure! Regular flour will work as well.
If the mixture seems too wet, you can add up to 1/4 cup more flour as necessary.
You simply cannot go wrong with this delicious juicy crisp recipe.
Easily adaptable to fit any diet and tastes amazing every time!
