Blueberry Crisp

Blueberry crisp is quick and so easy to make. It has a juicy blueberry filling topped with a crunchy buttery sweet topping. It is like a blueberry pie without a bottom crust.

Notes

Blueberry Crisp Recipe Options

To lower calories in the crisp, you can replace the sugar with Swerve.
You can use coconut sugar instead of refined granulated sugar since coconut sugar is lower on the glycemic index table
For coconut oil is an alternative to butter. Both have saturated fat, but coconut oil is a better choice for those who cannot eat animal products. 
You can replace the flour (wheat flour) with almond flour for a gluten-free recipe for the crumble topping. In addition, you can replace the 2 tablespoons of flour in the filling with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. 
You can make fruit crip with a variety of soft fruits. However, if you use apples, be sure to peel them first and slice them very thin. I like to add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon in the apple crisp filling too. 
To add some interesting flavor to the crumble topping, you can add a handful of chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
For an oat topping, replace half of the flour with oatmeal. Then blend the oats and flour with the butter, sugar, salt, baking powder. After the flour mixture is creamy, stir in the vanilla extract.
