Healthy Blueberry Crisp
My Healthy Blueberry Crisp features fresh, plump summer blueberries, maple syrup, and perfect oatmeal-based crumbly topping. This Healthy Blueberry Dessert substitutes apple sauce for butter in the topping making it oil-free, dairy-free, vegan, and totally delicious.
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 6 cups blueberries
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons corn starch
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
For the Topping:
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- ¼ cup pecans, chopped
- ½ cup white wheat flour
- ⅓ cup apple sauce
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 and grease a 9 x 9 casserole dish.
- In a large bowl, mix together the filling by carefully folding the blueberries, corn starch, lemon juice and maple syrup together. Put the mixture into the bottom of your baking dish.
- Next prepare the crisp topping. In a medium bowl mix the oats, pecans, flour, apple sauce, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon and salt together in a bowl.
- Carefully crumble the topping on top of your blueberry filling. Use your hands to spread it over the top.
- Bake 40-45 minutes or until the topping is brown and the blueberries start to form a rich glaze.
- Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes so the healthy blueberry crisp can continue to thicken.
- Serve with ice cream or greek yogurt.
