Ingredients
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing pan)
5 cups (30 oz) fresh blueberries (or defrosted frozen blueberries)
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 cup (80 g) old-fashioned rolled oats
½ cup (67 g) all-purpose flour
½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 2-quart baking dish (or a 10-inch skillet) with butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until the berries are evenly coated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the cold butter cubes to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter (or two forks) to cut the butter into the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
- Transfer the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the berries are bubbling.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones. Just make sure to defrost and drain any excess liquid.
- Try adding other fruits such as raspberries, blackberries, or peaches for a twist on the classic blueberry crisp.
- If making gluten-free, swap the all-purpose flour and oats with certified gluten-free options.
- For added flavor and texture, you can sprinkle nuts like pecans, walnuts, or almonds on top of the crisp before baking.
