This blueberry crumble was an absolute hit at my family’s Christmas dinner! I almost didn’t make it because I was running out of time, but I am so glad I did! My dad is still talking about this dessert and requests it to be his birthday dessert from now on! So glad it is quick and easy and so thankful for this recipe from Karen!!
Love it! Glad you decided to make it and happy it was such a hit!
This crumble looks awesome! Would I be able to use gf oat flour and maple syrup or coconut sugar as the flours and sweetener respectively? Thinking of using coconut ghee as the butter substitute…. Your guidance and expertise would be so welcome! (Trying to see if i can use what I have in my pantry to make your delicious crumble!) Thanks so much in advance Karen!
Great questions! I’ve never made it any way other than the recipe but oat flour and coconut sugar would be my choice over maple syrup… I love maple syrup but crumble won’t hold together…
I decided to make this on my birthday and it did not disappoint! It was easy to make and very delicious especially topping it off with vanilla ice cream! Thanks so much Karen for sharing this recipe. The family loves it!
