Blueberry Crisp

Fresh blueberries are everywhere! I see cases of them in all the grocery stores! A perfect time to make a delicious and easy Blueberry Crisp

I adapted a recipe from Martha Stewart’s website. I used oil instead of butter in the topping & added some cinnamon & nutmeg to the filling. Also swapped the cornstarch for flour.

I actually used frozen blueberries because I did not have any fresh but with all the fresh blueberries around I am going to make this Blueberry Crisp again with some fresh ones!

The recipe is simple yet so delicious & satisfying! Blueberries are tossed with some sugar & flour then put into a greased backing dish. The topping is a mixture of oats, sugar, flour & I used a neutral oil instead of butter. Baked until you see the blueberry filling is bubbling up along the edges making a wonderful jammy edge!

Serve this Blueberry Crisp on its own or with ice cream. Murray likes it with Coconut Whip from the can!

Here is the recipe adapted from Martha Stewart’s website
