  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup pecan halves (about 3/4 cup chopped)
  • 1/2 cup almond meal
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup real maple syrup or raw honey

Filling

  • 4 cups blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crisp.
  2. Prepare the topping: In a mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chopped pecans, almond meal, unsweetened flaked coconut, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices and salt.
  3. Add wet ingredients to topping: Pour in the olive oil and maple syrup or honey over the dry mixture. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients hold together slightly and form a crumbly, even texture.
  4. Assemble the crisp: Place the fresh blueberries in an even layer in a suitable baking dish, then sprinkle the oat and pecan topping evenly over the berries.
  5. Bake the crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the crisp to cool for at least 10 minutes after baking to let the filling thicken slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with yogurt or ice cream.

Notes

  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the pecans before mixing into the topping.
  • Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of maple syrup or honey according to taste.
  • Ensure the blueberries are fresh and ripe for the best filling consistency and taste.
  • The crisp stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated before serving.
