Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups wild blueberries
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a small amount of coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the wild blueberries and maple syrup. Gently stir to coat the blueberries evenly, allowing them to macerate and release their natural juices.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, rolled oats, melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a crumbly, slightly moist texture.
- Spread the macerated blueberries evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating a uniform layer.
- Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the blueberries, ensuring complete coverage and an even distribution of the topping.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the topping turns golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbling around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set and become less runny.
- Serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
Tips
- Use fresh or frozen wild blueberries for the most intense flavor - wild blueberries are smaller and more concentrated in taste compared to regular blueberries.
- Make sure your coconut oil is fully melted for the perfect crumble texture. Slightly warm it if needed to achieve a smooth consistency.
- For extra crunch, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to your crumble topping.
- Allow the crumble to cool slightly before serving to help the filling set and prevent burning your mouth.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently in the oven to maintain the crisp topping.
- For a more decadent experience, serve with dairy-free vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream.
