Blueberry Crisp

The full ingredients list and instructions are found in the printable recipe card at the end of this post. I highly recommend reading the blog post all the way through so that you don’t miss any tips or substitution suggestions; to ensure that you have all the ingredients and equipment required, and to understand the steps and timings involved.

This is not your usual blueberry crisp recipe, no ma’am!

First of all, a heady herb and spice mix of ground cinnamon, allspice, and dried rosemary, as well as maple syrup are combined with the fresh blueberries, giving a warming, comforting aroma to this dessert.

Secondly, it is a gluten-free recipe using oats, almond flour (ground almonds) and flaked almonds for the crisp topping.

To finish off, instead of ice cream or whipping cream, a dollop of thick Greek yogurt goes on top and pairs beautifully with all of the flavors of this blueberry crisp!

What’s the Difference Between a Crisp, Crumble, and Cobbler?

Okay, so we go back to the age-old issue on my blog with readers the world over who may call the same dish different names! As a blogger that can be a bit of a nightmare!

Essentially all these desserts are baked with a fruit base and some sort of pastry topping. To me, crisps and crumbles are interchangeable as they have a topping (usually) made with rolled oats, sugar, butter, and flour. I sometimes throw nuts in there too.

For a cobbler, the topping is usually (American) biscuits and peach cobbler is one of my husband’s favorite dessert!

Ingredients & Equipment Used In This Recipe

While most ingredients can be bought in grocery stores, for your convenience, any specialized or notable ingredients (and equipment) needed for this recipe have been listed below and linked to Amazon or other stores if available online.

It does not include staple ingredients such as oil, salt, and pepper, as you’re likely to have those in your kitchen already. The complete list of ingredients with measurements is found in the recipe card.

  • Fresh ProduceBlueberries
  • DairyUnsalted Butter, Greek Yogurt (optional, to serve)
  • Pure Maple Syrupbuy the good, 100% stuff, anything less is just made up of flavorings and corn syrup.
  • Ground Cinnamon
  • Ground Allspice – not ALL the spices but the dried unripe berry of Pimenta dioica tree. Often used in Jamaican and West Indian cuisine. This can be a powerful flavor, I personally use it according to taste.
  • Dried Rosemary
  • Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
  • Almond Flour essentially, very finely ground almonds.
  • Sliced Almonds
  • Honeytry to buy locally produced honey when possible.

Recipes on The Purple Pumpkin Blog use both cup measurements and/or weighted measurements. American cups and kitchen food scales are handy pieces of equipment to have in your kitchen as it means you’ll be able to make all of the different recipes on my blog. I try to give American, imperial, and metric measurements in my recipes. You can mix cup measurements with weighted measurements, but never mix imperial (pounds, ounces, pints, etc.,) with metric (kilograms, grams, litres, etc.,).
