Ingredients
To whip up this summer sensation, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Directions
Let’s dive into the simple steps to create this delightful Blueberry Crisp:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, gently toss together the blueberries, lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and ground cinnamon until the blueberries are evenly coated. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish.
- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the blueberry filling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
