Blueberry-Almond Crisp
Ingredients
- 2 cups (280g) blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest, finely grated
- 1 1/2 cups (144g) rolled oats
- 1/3 cup (64g) coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup (26g) flaxseeds, ground
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (118ml) 2% milk or unsweetened non-dairy milk
- 1/4 cup (59ml) coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup (25g) sliced almonds
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray an 8-inch (20-by-20-cm) square baking dish with cooking spray. Put the blueberries, 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon, and lemon zest in the baking dish and toss to combine. Spread in an even layer in the baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining cinnamon, oats, coconut sugar, flaxseeds, baking powder and salt. Add the milk and coconut oil and stir to combine. Add the egg and stir until fully incorporated. Spoon evenly over the fruit mixture in the pan and bake until the top begins to brown and the berries bubble around the edges of the pan, 25 minutes. Sprinkle the almonds over the top and continue to bake until they are golden brown, 5 minutes. Serve warm.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator in the pan they were baked in, covered, for up to five days. Reheat in the microwave on high until hot, about 2 minutes.
