    How to Make Easy Healthy Blueberry Crisp for Two:

    Are you craving something sweet and fruity? We've got a special treat for you! This healthy blueberry crisp for two is a delicious, light dessert to enjoy after dinner with someone special. Grab two small ramekins and fill them up with fresh or frozen blueberries.

    First, let's start with our blueberry base layer! Blueberries become perfectly jammy and sweet when baked. Add a splash of pure maple syrup to enhance the natural sweetness of the blueberries. To thicken up all of those wonderful blueberry juices that escape while baking, add some chia seeds or cornstarch. 

    Next, let's top off the blueberries with a sweet and salty oatmeal crisp topping before we bake! In a small bowl, combine the crumble topping ingredients. We're using rolled oats, oat flour, brown sugar, melted coconut oil or butter, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Fill both of the baking ramekins with the oatmeal crumble topping.

    Hold up! Before you pop these cute little dishes into the oven, place the ramekins onto a parchment lined baking sheet. A baking sheet makes it easier to grab the hot blueberry crisp out of the oven and prevents any blueberry dripping on the bottom of your oven. 

    Now it's time to bake and enjoy! Bake these easy healthy blueberry crisps at 350F for about 30 minutes and let cool for a few minutes before serving. I like to top my blueberry crisp with a scoop of vanilla gelato or some fresh whipped cream for dessert. If you'd like to enjoy this easy blueberry crisp for two for breakfast, top with a scoop of vanilla greek yogurt! Or click here for my blueberry crumble bars recipe.

    Ingredients

    • Blueberries, fresh or frozen: Any blueberries will work in this recipe! I tend to use fresh blueberries that have been sitting in my fridge for too long.
    • Pure Maple Syrup: Add some extra sweetness with a little pure maple syrup. You can also leave this out if you prefer only the sweetness of the blueberries.
    • Chia Seeds or Cornstarch: Chia seeds add plant-based protein to this recipe and helps to thicken the blueberry juices. If you're not using chia seeds, add cornstarch instead.
    • Lemon Zest, optional: Fragrant lemon zest helps brighten up this dish and enhances the flavor of the blueberries.
    • Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats: (gluten-free if necessary) Make sure you use "rolled oats" and not quick cook or any other type. This recipe calls for old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
    • Oat Flour: (gluten-free if necessary) We like to use oat flour (blended rolled oats) to keep this recipe healthy and nutritious. You can also substitute all-purpose flour.
    • Cinnamon: This amazing spice pairs perfectly with crispy, buttery oats.
    • Coconut Oil or Butter: Use coconut oil to keep this recipe vegan and lightened up. Or use melted butter if you prefer it.
    • Brown Sugar: Brown sugar brings that caramel-like, rich sweetness to any baked good!
    • Salt: Add a pinch of salt to balance our the sweet rolled oat crumble.
    • Vanilla Extract: Add a dash of vanilla to elevate the flavor in this easy healthy blueberry crisp for two.

    Substitutions

    Can I use different oats?

    I don't recommend using quick oats or any other type of oats. Old fashioned rolled oats gives the blueberry crisp topping the best texture. Also, quick cook oats may affect baking time and end result.

    Gluten-free?

    Make sure you use gluten-free rolled oats and/or gluten-free flour if you need to! 

    Fruit substitute?

    This recipe would taste amazing with cherries, mixed berries, strawberries or raspberries if you don't have blueberries.

    • Method: Bake
    • Cuisine: American

    Ingredients

    Units Scale

    Blueberry Filling:

    • 1 heaping cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
    • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
    • 2 tablespoon chia seeds*
    • zest of one lemon, optional

    Oat Topping:

    • ½ cup rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
    • ½ cup oat flour (gluten-free if necessary)
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted*
    • ⅓ cup brown sugar*
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

    Instructions

    1. Add heaping ½ cup of blueberries to two oven safe ramekins/small baking dishes. To each dish, add one tablespoon of maple syrup, some lemon zest, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds OR 1 teaspoon of cornstarch.
    2. Add oat topping ingredients to a small mixing bowl and stir to combine. Sprinkle topping equally over the blueberries in each small baking dish. Use your fingers or a spoon to pack down the crumble topping just a bit.
    3. Place both ramekins on a lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven at 375F for 25-30 minutes.
    4. Serve warm as is, or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or even fresh whipped cream to top it off!

    Notes

    Substitute the chia seeds for about 2 teaspoons corn starch if you'd like.

    You can swap the coconut oil for 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted.

    You can use coconut sugar instead of brown sugar to make this recipe naturally sweetened.

    Depending on the size of your ramekin, the blueberry filling should bubble up to the edges of the dish or a little may leak out so make sure you place the dishes on a lined baking sheet to catch any drips.

      This was amazing!!! I loved the blueberry filling and I used frozen blueberries. It was so easy and the perfect healthier dessert for two. Next time I think I’ll serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
