This will be one of the best Blueberry Crumble desserts you will ever have! It is easy to make and has the great flavor. The blueberries are mixed with just the right amount of sugar and lemon and the crumble topping is a blend of oats, pecans and brown sugar with amazing texture. When you add a little ice cream it takes it over the top!

Why This is Excellent

  • It is as easy and mixing the blueberries, mixing the top, then baking!
  • Makes an amazing dessert for any summer dinner (especially BBQ).
  • Great to make when blueberries are in season (Summer: May-mid August).
  • You probably have most of the ingredients in your kitchen already!

Ingredients

You probably have most of the ingredients you need to make this Blueberry Crumble, right in your pantry or baking cabinet.

Butterโ€“ make sure your butter is cold. You can pop it in the freezer for a few minutes while you prepare all the other ingredients.

Blueberries โ€“ Fresh blueberries are in season from May โ€“ mid August. If there is a U-Pick blueberry farm nearby it is a fun family activity and this dessert is the perfect way to use up some of your berries.

Step by Step Picture Instructions

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Also prep a 9ร—9 baking dish with non- stick spray.

In a large bowl stir together the blueberries, cornstarch, sugar, kosher salt, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Now mix together your crumble topping ingredients โ€“ flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon and salt.

Cut the butter into the oat mixture with a pastry cutter, two forks, two knives, or just your clean hands, until you have a coarse crumbly mixture.

Pro Tip: This is a great video showing how to cut butter into flour.

Pour the blueberries into the prepared baking dish, top with the flour/oat mixture.

Pro Tip: if your 9ร—9 pan is shallow and the filling almost goes to the top, place it on a rimmed baking sheet so your berries donโ€™t spill over into your oven.

Bake for 40 minutes.

Serving

Let the Blueberry Crumble cool for about 20 minutes and then you can serve it topped with ice cream or sweetened whipped cream.

Frozen Berries

You can also make this recipe with frozen blueberries, although there may be a bit more liquid than with fresh.

Instructions

    Any way I could not use the butter in the crumble and use applesauce or something more healthy?
    Thank You

      I don’t think applesauce would work. Maybe a refined coconut oil or maple syrup, or you could try avocado oil. However I have not tested this.

    Will quick oats work instead of old fashioned oats?
