This blueberry crisp recipe is the best! It’s SO easy to make and it tastes amazing. If you love blueberries, you’re going to love this dessert.
It’s loaded with blueberries, and is topped with a buttery brown sugar and oatmeal pecan crust. A little lemon juice and lemon zest adds just a little extra tartness to the blueberries, and the crunchy crust tops it off perfectly.
How to Make Easy Blueberry Crisp
I love how easy and quick this blueberry crisp is to make with a just a few simple ingredients.
First, toss the blueberries in a bowl with lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, cinnamon, and corn starch and pour into a 9×13 dish. I usually use frozen blueberries since it’s super convenient (and we always have some in the freezer for smoothies).
*The lemon juice and lemon zest in the recipe adds a little boost of tartness and flavor. I’ve tried this recipe with and without lemon, but my favorite is to include the lemon juice & zest- it just makes the blueberry crisp even better!
Here’s our pretty, coated blueberries ready to go!
Next, combine the oats, chopped pecans, butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar until crumbly and spread over the blueberries. I use a hand mixer for this–since the butter isn’t super soft, it makes little crumbles.
Top the blueberries with the oatmeal mixture and bake! I love everything in this crumble topping–it’s like we’re covering the blueberries in oatmeal cookies 🙂
And here is our blueberry crisp after baking. Mmmmm….so good!
Blueberry crisp is amazing just as it is, but I love to serve it warm with a little ice cream or whipped cream. Since blueberries are packed with healthy antioxidants, I think we should keep this deliciousness in mind for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, don’t you?
