Not only is this recipe crazy easy, it is also crazy delicious! With the capacious amount of blueberries my neighbor blessed me with, I couldn't experiment fast enough. In one word, success! You won't be disappointed.
Ingredients:
1/2 lemon
4-5 cups of fresh blueberries
3/4 cup of flour (I like spelt)
1/4 cup of oats
1/2 cup of sugar (I use coconut palm sugar)
1 to 2 tablespoon of hemp seeds
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (Vietnamese is my all-time fave)
5 tablespoons of vegan butter, cubed (Earth Balance is perfect)
1 tablespoon of oil (canola or grapeseed oil work well)
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an eight inch square baking dish.
- Pour blueberries into dish and squeeze lemon juice over berries.
- Place the flour, oats, sugar, hemp seeds, cinnamon, butter and oil in a food processor and pulse a few times until crumbly. Pour over berries and spread out evenly.
- Bake 25 minutes. The top should be golden and like any berry dish, the berries should be bubbling.
It's THAT easy.
I love that you don't cook the berries ahead of time. I love that you don't add sweetener to the blueberries. I love that I can have it "farm to table" in about 30 minutes.
Just one more thing before I leave you to your baking. For those who can't/don't eat dairy or refined sugar, "ice cream" seems inconceivable. Look no further.
Luna & Larry's Organic Coconut Bliss is sublime. It's low glycemic, vegan, gluten-free, as well as free of soy. In essence, it's heaven in a small container. (Purchased at New Seasons Market.) The Ginger Cookie Caramel was fantastic with the crisp. Blueberries + ginger = nummylicious!

What a yummy treat, I'm so going to try it sometime this week! Thanks, Les!
ReplyDeleteIt's a keeper. I also tried it with peaches, scrumptious! I bet it is divine with apples, pears and other berries. Well, I'll just have to be sure. Off to the kitchen....
DeleteP.S. You can use regular sugar or butter too. :) Hemp seeds are optional.
