Plant-Based Blueberry Crumble is a quick, healthy dessert. Juicy blueberries topped with a sweet, crunchy oat topping. Cooks in just 20 minutes!
I have a friend who is absolutely OBSESSED with blueberries. Every time I ask for flavor suggestions or recipe ideas, he always suggests something with blueberries.
While he is probably slightly crazy, I'm happy to oblige. Blueberries are incredible. They are sweet and juicy. And one of the healthiest foods you can eat.
I know there's a lot of talk about superfoods. People debate which foods provide an insane amount of nutrition. There isn't always consensus, but I firmly believe that the best superfoods are the ones that are available and affordable. Like blueberries!
Let's talk about fruit for a second.
When a fruit is in season, you can buy it inexpensively at the store. But when it's not in season, it's being shipped in from another country and can get expensive.
Personally, I never buy fresh fruit. I buy all my fruit frozen because more often than not it's cheaper than buying fresh.
It also lasts longer. AND it's picked at the peak of ripeness. All the nutrients stay put when the fruit is frozen so you know you're getting the optimal nutrition. Frozen fruit is seriously the way to go!
All that to say, I used frozen blueberries for this crumble and I recommend that you do too. You'll get a delicious sweet juicy sauce that you can only get with frozen berries.
As for the other ingredients, the list is pretty short. You likely already have them.
I made a single serving of this for myself, but if you're cooking for multiple people, feel free to increase the ingredient quantities you use.
Start by adding your blueberries to a cake pan. I used a 4-inch cake pan. But again, use a larger pan if you're cooking for more people.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, maple syrup, almond flour, and salt. It should JUST stick together. Don't worry if it's pretty loose, it will come together as it bakes. Sprinkle the mixture over the blueberries.
Bake for 15 minutes, until the berries are warmed through and the oat mixture is crispy. Enjoy!
Thank you God for sweet, healthy desserts. Thank you for blueberries. Amen.
