This Easy Blueberry Crisp recipe is a delightful dessert featuring a juicy blueberry filling topped with a crunchy oat and brown sugar mixture. Baked to golden perfection, it’s perfect served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Ingredients

Blueberry Filling

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp. granulated or cane sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 ½ tsp. cornstarch (if using frozen blueberries, increase to 2 tsp.)
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon

Crisp Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tsp. almond extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9X9 or 11X7 baking dish, or 10-inch oven-safe skillet. Avoid using a 9X13 pan or 12-inch skillet as the recipe’s proportion is optimized for smaller dishes.
  2. Make Blueberry Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Gently stir until the blueberries are evenly coated, or you can mix these ingredients directly in the baking dish.
  3. Assemble Blueberry Layer: Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly across the bottom.
  4. Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and stir to combine thoroughly. Add almond extract and mix well to incorporate the flavor.
  5. Add Topping to Berries: Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the blueberry filling in the baking dish, covering the fruit completely.
  6. Bake the Crisp: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly around the edges. If the topping browns too quickly, cover it loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the blueberry crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.

Notes

  • If using frozen blueberries, increase cornstarch to 2 teaspoons to ensure the filling thickens properly.
  • Do not use excessively large baking dishes as this may result in a thinner filling and topping ratio.
  • Cover with foil if topping browns too fast during baking to prevent burning.
  • Serving warm enhances the flavors; pair with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic touch.
