Healthy Blueberry Crumble
The Healthy Blueberry Crumble is a baked fruit dessert featuring wild blueberries topped with a golden mixture of oats, chopped pecans, almond flour, maple syrup, and coconut oil. The result is a crisp and nutty topping contrasted with juicy, bubbling blueberries beneath. This crumble provides a balance of textures and natural sweetness, with simple ingredients that don't require thawing frozen berries beforehand. It's an approachable dish to serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or ice cream.
Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups wild blueberries no thawing required, frozen
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 cup pecans chopped
- ½ cup almond flour
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Spray a 9-inch or 8-inch circular or square baking dish with cooking spray. Add blueberries to the dish and drizzle vanilla over top. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together oats, pecans, almond flour, maple syrup, coconut oil, cinnamon and sea salt.
- Once combined, spoon oatmeal pecan topping over the blueberries. Gently press the mixture down using the back of the spoon.
- Bake in preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until blueberries are bubbling and topping has hardened and turned a lovely golden brown color.
- Cool for 10-20 minutes then serve with whipped topping or ice cream.
Notes
- Frozen wild blueberries can be used directly without thawing; fresh or regular frozen blueberries also work.
- If desired, mix 2-3 tablespoons of cornstarch or arrowroot with the blueberries before baking for a thicker filling.
- Substitute other chopped nuts such as walnuts if pecans are not preferred.
