Original post..
My husband and his entire family love blueberry desserts!
I used to make blueberry pie all the time but ever since my son was diagnosed with celiac disease and went gluten-free, I have to admit I’m not a huge fan of all the work involved in making a pie crust.
So we started making blueberry crumble and my husband loves it!
It is super easy and just as yummy.
All you do is mix:
blueberries (we’ve used fresh or frozen wild blueberries) with
sugar
cinnamon
corn starch or gluten-free flour
and some lemon juice.
Pro tip: I use frozen wild blueberries, they are they smaller ones, and I de-thaw them in a colander in the sink so they drain a lot of water while they defrost.
Then pour into a baking pan.
I make it in a pie pan too to make it look extra special and pretty!
Then top it with the crumble topping of:
gluten-free all purpose flour (we use GF Jules affiliate link)
gluten-free oats
brown sugar
butter or dairy free butter
and cinnamon.
As an aside, you may have noticed that we are affiliate for GFJules. To learn more about why we love GFJules flour and why we have used it for 10 years, click here.

And importantly, purchasing through an affiliate link does not change your cost at all. It generates a small percentage of the sale for me, and purchasing through an affiliate link helps me fund this website and all the recipes I share, so thank you!
Back to the gluten-free Blueberry Crumble…
You mix the crumble ingredients together with either a pastry cutter or your hands until well combined.
After you mix all the ingredients, all you do is put the crumble on top of the blueberries and bake!
It couldn’t be easier!
We make it all year round using fresh blueberries in the Summer and frozen wild blueberries in the Winter.
And served in a pie pan, it’s a pretty and crowd-pleasing dessert!
Hope you love it as much as we do!

An easy, crowd pleasing dessert to satisfy all the fruit lovers at your table. Tastes great with fresh or frozen blueberries so perfect all year round!
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!!
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!
Do you mean assemble then bake later? So that the crumble doesn’t get soggy/ turn blue, I would assemble but leave the crumble in a separate container, then top just before baking. Enjoy!

Can you assemble and make ahead without affecting the flavor?
Do you mean assemble then bake later? So that the crumble doesn’t get soggy/ turn blue, I would assemble but leave the crumble in a separate container, then top just before baking. Enjoy!
The filling section says “flour or cornstartch”. I assume gluten-free flour? Is cornstarch typically gluten-free?
Yes!! I will edit that now just for clarity! And corn starch is naturally gluten-free.
