Blueberry Crisp Ingredients:
Filling:
- 4 cups of fresh blueberries (or frozen blueberries)
- 2 tablespoons flour (or 1 tablespoon of cornstarch)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or coconut sugar or Swerve)
Topping:
- 1 cup sifted flour (or almond flour)
- 1/2 cold butter (or coconut oil)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest (optional)
Supplies:
- Measuring cups and measuring spoons
- Sifter
- Baking dish
- Pastry blender
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Butter a baking dish (approximately) 8″ by 8″.
Place blueberries in a large bowl, then sprinkle two tablespoons of flour and sugar over the berries—toss blueberries to coat.
Next, blend the sifted flour, butter, salt, sugar, and baking powder with a pastry blender in a large bowl.
Once the mixture is creamy, stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest (optional).
Place the prepared blueberries in the buttered baking dish and top with the crumble topping.
Transfer the baking dish to a preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes. The topping should be golden brown.
Place the baked blueberry crisp on a wire cooling rack for 30 minutes before serving. I like to serve the blueberry crisp while slightly warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Can You Make Blueberry Crip with Frozen Blueberries
You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries for this recipe. However, when using the frozen berry, it makes a less-formed crisp but just as delicious. Therefore, I do not thaw the berries before baking. However, you will want to ensure the filling is boiling before removing it from the oven.

Notes
Blueberry Crisp Recipe Options
To lower calories in the crisp, you can replace the sugar with Swerve.
You can use coconut sugar instead of refined granulated sugar since coconut sugar is lower on the glycemic index table.
For coconut oil is an alternative to butter. Both have saturated fat, but coconut oil is a better choice for those who cannot eat animal products.
You can replace the flour (wheat flour) with almond flour for a gluten-free recipe for the crumble topping. In addition, you can replace the 2 tablespoons of flour in the filling with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.
You can make fruit crip with a variety of soft fruits. However, if you use apples, be sure to peel them first and slice them very thin. I like to add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in the apple crisp filling too.
To add some interesting flavor to the crumble topping, you can add a handful of chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
For an oat topping, replace half of the flour with oatmeal. Then blend the oats and flour with the butter, sugar, salt, baking powder. After the flour mixture is creamy, stir in the vanilla extract.

More Desserts I Think You’ll Love
This summer, we have enjoyed a ton of juicy sweet blueberries, so I have been busy cooking our favorite blueberry recipes.
This lemon blueberry muffin recipe I have made many times this summer. It’s bursting with juicy blueberries, and the lemon adds a complementing light and refreshing flavor.
My favorite winter treat is cranberries. So every fall, I ask the produce man at our local grocery store when the first shipment of cranberries will arrive. Then, to my delight, I figured out how to freeze them easily. I also like to make a batch of cranberry muffins and mini loaves of cranberry bread to celebrate fall.
Another fall favorite is my aunt’s pumpkin cake with brown sugar frosting. This was one of the desserts that she served for Thanksgiving.
