Looking for a scrumptious and yet healthy dessert? How about this mind-blowing gluten-free blueberry crisp?
Crisps and crumbles are an age-old tradition, but what you’re about to try has a modern spin. This blueberry crisp recipe from Liz Moody’s cookbook Healthier Together is the answer! Inspired and embracing healthier cooking, she says, “Food has a power to bring us together. We fall in love over food, celebrate over food, and mourn over food. Why can’t we channel this power toward health?”
This best gluten-free blueberry crisp is easy to make, has a healthy spin, and it tastes SO, so good. The crumble topping is also perfectly crisp and gluten-free! The mixture of almonds and oats is what makes this crunchy topping. All the more, never miss the pure, fresh and tangy blueberry filling, making it a naturally gluten-free dessert. To finish, this is optional, but adding a little crushed culinary lavender over the top steps it up to a new level.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease an 8-inch pie plate or a cast-iron skillet.
In a large bowl, toss together the blueberries, vanilla, lemon juice, arrowroot powder for thickening and salt until well coated.
Transfer the filling to the prepared pie plate.
Chop the butter into small pieces and add to the bowl with the oats, coconut sugar, almond flour, vanilla, salt, and lavender.
Pinch it all together with your fingertips until it forms a shaggy, sandy dough.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the filling.
Layer the topping on the filling and bake for 45 minutes or until the filling bubbles and the topping is golden brown.
Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes.
