Background

This Blueberry Crisp Recipe is a dessert I make frequently. It is one of my absolute favorite easy to make dessert recipes. It calls for common ingredients and you can even use frozen blueberries so it's easy to keep all the ingredients in the house for this quick and easy dessert. I recommend eating it warm with vanilla ice cream.

As you can see,one of my kids helped themselves to the blueberry crisp on the right before I could take the picture! As you know, blueberries can stain clothes and furniture, if you need any help getting a stain out, Stain Removal 101 has some great advice if you need help figuring out how to remove blueberry stains!

Blueberry Crisp Recipe

6 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
Topping
1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup flour
1 cup old fashioned oatmeal (you can also use quick oats)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened

Place blueberries in a large mixing bowl. Combine sugar and the 3 Tablespoons of flour and pour over blueberries. Mix so that the blueberries are coated with the sugar mixture. Pour the blueberries into an ungreased 9"x13" glass baking pan.

In a separate bowl combine all of the topping ingredients. I usually use one hand to mix all the ingredients together. Use your hand to crumble this mixture evenly over the blueberries.

Bake in an oven preheated to 350°F for 45 minutes.

Let cool for at least 30 minutes and serve with ice cream.

Cook's notes: This is a very flexible recipe. I often make a triple berry crisp with blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries. This recipe is also very forgiving. I often fill up a baking dish 1/2 to 3/4 of the way with berries and then mix with a proportionate amount of flour and sugar, and make the topping as indicated above. I would recommend using any type of berries except for strawberries. If you are in a hurry, the butter can be softened by placing it in the microwave for 25-30 seconds (don't melt it!)
