Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup old fashioned oats
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon table salt
- 4 tablespoons pure honey
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- ½ cup toasted pecans
- 2 pounds fresh blueberries, 32 oz
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F with rack on lower middle position. Lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish.
- In a bowl, add the oats, flour, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Whisk gently to combine well. Add honey, melted butter, and pecans. Stir to fully incorporate. Mixture should become loose and crumbly.
- In the prepared baking dish, add the blueberries in an evenly layer. Sprinkle cornstarch and sugar evenly on top and very gently toss to coat. Be sure coated blueberries are evenly spread out in the pan. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the top of the blueberries.
- Bake 45-55 minutes or until set. Cool at room temp. Cover and chill until firm enough to slice (several hours.)
Notes
- Use fresh, sweet blueberries for the best flavor since most of the sweetness in this crumble comes from the berries themselves. If you’re using frozen blueberries, add them straight to the pan without thawing to avoid excess moisture.
- Make sure your honey is smooth and runny, not crystalized. This helps it blend evenly into the oat topping.
- Press the oat mixture gently over the berries without packing it down too firmly. This allows it to bake up with a pleasant, hearty texture.
- Let the crumble cool completely before slicing so it can set properly. This makes it much easier to cut into neat squares.
- If you’d like more crunch, sprinkle extra toasted nuts on top right before serving.
- This crumble tastes great both chilled and gently warmed, so serve it whichever way you like best.
