Healthy Blueberry Crisp

The traditional dessert for a New England Lobster Bake is a blueberry pie. I'm cleaning it up and simplifying it with my healthy blueberry crisp. The crust of the crisp adds crunch while the sweetness of the blueberries adds a natural sweet component. We are in the throws of blueberry season so we need to take advantage of these super-food gems! This recipe is delicious on its own or serve à la mode.

Ingredients

• 2 pints fresh blueberries

• 1 T + 2 T arrowroot starch (divided)

• 2 T + ¼ c pure maple syrup (divided)

• Juice of ½ lemon

• 1 c gf rolled oats

• ½ c pecans (chopped)

• ½ c almonds (sliced)

• 1 t cinnamon

• 2 T coconut oil (not melted)

Instructions

Prepare an 8” x 8” ceramic baker with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350°. In a mixing bowl, combine blueberries, 1 T of arrowroot starch, 2 T maple syrup and lemon. Pour blueberry mixture into ceramic baker and spread out evenly. In a separate mixing bowl, combine oats, 2 T arrowroot starch, ¼ c maple syrup, pecans, almonds, cinnamon and coconut oil. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated – clean hands work well here! Crumble evenly onto blueberry mixture. Press down lightly with your hands. Cook for 30 minutes. Serve à la mode or on its’ own. I like to serve it with a scoop of DiNoci salty caramel dairy free dessert.
