Equipment

Ingredients

2 pounds fresh blueberries
⅓ cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons cornstarch
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup old-fashioned oats
1 cup vanilla almond granola
½ cup lightly packed brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter melted
4 tablespoons butter sliced
vanilla ice cream optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Blend the blueberry mixture. In a 9 by 13-inch baking dish, mix together the blueberries, maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
Mix the crumble. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, vanilla almond granola, brown sugar, and salt. Mix in the melted butter.
Add the crumble on top of the blueberries. Pour the oat mixture over the blueberries and place the butter slices on top.
Bake. Bake for 45 minutes or until bubbly and crisp. Cover with foil if the topping starts to get overly brown.
Serve. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream.

Notes

When combining the oats, granola, brown sugar, and salt for the crumble topping, make sure they're evenly mixed. This helps distribute the flavors and creates a uniform texture that bakes more evenly.

When melting the butter for the crumble topping, make sure it's completely melted and not partially solid. Melt it slowly so it doesn't burn or become rancid.

If you notice the crumble topping getting overly brown during baking, loosely cover the dish with foil to prevent it from burning. This will allow the blueberry filling to continue cooking while protecting the topping.

If you want your crumble topping to be softer, lightly press it down into the blueberries. For a crispier texture, leave it loosely scattered over the filling.
