BLUEBERRY CRUMBLE

INGREDIENTS

FILLING:

  • 24 ounces (about 2 pints) fresh blueberries

  • 2-4 tablespoons sugar, *see notes

  • 2 tablespoons gluten free flour

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice or use water

  • Pinch fine sea salt


CRUMBLE TOPPING:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup gluten free old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar, OR combine 1/4 cup brown sugar + 1/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick) or substitute 1/2 cup melted coconut oil

  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt

TO SERVE:

  • Vanilla Ice Cream

*NOTES:

  • Reduce the sugar: The sugar needed depends on how tart your blueberries are. 

INSTRUCTIONS

MAKE FILLING:

  • Heat oven to 375F degrees 

  • Add blueberries, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of flour, sugar, and pinch of salt to a 9-inch pie dish (or use a 2-quart baking dish). 

  • Toss well until combined.

MAKE CRUMBLE TOPPING:

  • Combine flour, oats, sugar, and the salt in a medium bowl. Add the melted butter then stir until all the flour has been moistened by the butter and topping is crumbly.

  • Sprinkle over blueberry filling. 

BAKE CRUMBLE:

  • Bake 25 to 35 minutes until juices are thickened and the topping has turned light golden brown. 

ASSEMBLE:

  • Cool 10 minutes, top with vanilla ice cream & serve!

OTHER NOTES:

  • Make-Ahead: Of course- best served warm from the oven, but you can bake it an hour or two ahead and reheat in a 350ºF oven to warm it up. 

  • Storage: Keeps well in fridge for up to a few days. Reheat leftovers in at 350ºF. 

  • Frozen berries: If fresh berries aren't available, you can use frozen berries. No need to defrost first- just bake the dish 5 or 10 minutes longer if need be.

Bon Appetit!
