Do you have a go-to summer dessert recipe that you turn to time and time again?  For me, I have a few, but a dessert with a crispy oat topping is hard to beat.

Growing up I enjoyed my share of cakes, cobblers, and pies, but there’s something so quick and easy about a blueberry crisp, that it’s my first choice when I’m short on prep time.

What is Blueberry Crisp

Similar to Blueberry Crumble, it’s a baked fresh fruit dessert, that traditionally has a topping made with flour and oats.  A crumble usually has a streusel topping.  The oats crisp up while baking and a streusel topping tends to be more dense.

This is one of my favorite desserts because I’m a fan of fresh blueberries and I love a crisp oatmeal topping.

Why this Recipe Works

  • Fresh lemon juice in the filling and a touch of cinnamon in the topping enhances the flavor of the blueberries.
  • Using both brown and white sugar adds a subtle sweetness to the crisp.
  • The cold butter adds extra crunch to the topping.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

Blueberry Filling

  • Blueberries - Fresh berries are my recommendation.
  • Sugar - White granulated sugar.
  • Gluten Free Flour Blend - I use Bob’s Red Mill in almost all of my baking recipes. 
  • Lemon juice - Using fresh lemon juice brings out the flavor of the blueberries.
  • Salt - Table salt.

Crisp Topping

  • Gluten Free Flour Blend - Bob’s Red Mill is my go-to brand.
  • Oats - Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (certified gluten free).  It’s important to use certified gluten free oats, if you’re baking for someone with Celiac disease.
  • Brown Sugar - I use golden brown sugar, but light or dark brown sugar will also work.
  • Sugar - Granulated sugar.
  • Cinnamon - Ground cinnamon.
  • Salt - Table salt.
  • Butter - I always use unsalted butter when baking.  Unsalted butter allows you to control the amount of salt in the recipe.

How to Make Blueberry Crisp

  1. Wash fresh blueberries and remove any stems.
  2. Toss in sugar, gluten free flour, lemon juice, and salt.
  3. Add to prepared baking dish.
  4. Make the topping and sprinkle over the blueberry mixture.
  5. Bake until lightly browned and bubbling.
  6. Serve warm.

Step by Step Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.  Butter a 9-inch pie dish or 2-quart baking dish.

In a large mixing bowl, add blueberries, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons gluten free flour, sugar, and salt.

Baker’s Tips

  • Verify your oats are certified gluten free.  Although rolled oats are naturally gluten free, there may be cross-contamination at the facility where they’re processed.
  • Place a sheet pan under the pie dish while baking.  If the berry filling bubbles over, the sheet pan will catch the drips.
  • Let the crisp cool for 10 minutes to allow the filling to thicken before serving.

FAQs

Can you use frozen blueberries in this recipe?


Yes, you can use frozen blueberries instead of fresh.  Don’t thaw the berries, just follow the recipe as written.
 
Because the frozen berries will have extra liquid as they thaw, you may want to double the gluten free flour blend to prevent the filling from being soupy.   You’ll also need to increase the baking time by 10-15 minutes.

Does blueberry crisp need to be refrigerated?


Blueberry crisp can be loosely covered and stored at room temperature overnight.  If you need to keep it longer, cover with foil and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
