Easy Blueberry Crisp Recipe

Last weekend my husband and I stopped at the grocery store on our way home from a bike ride to pick up a few things for dinner. He usually fills up the cart with junk food that I try not to buy, but this time he splurged on blueberries.

Now, he does love blueberries, and puts them on his cereal and on his yogurt, but I still was worried that we wouldn’t finish four pounds of blueberries before they got moldy. I decided that it was the perfect opportunity to do some baking, and searched the internet for an easy blueberry cobbler recipe.

Surprisingly, the first recipe I found that sounded like what I was looking for was on the Martha Stewart website. It was a simple recipe (easy and not too many ingredients) and had the oatmeal topping I was looking for (is that what makes it a “crisp”?). Of course, I made it my own with a few variations, but you might want to use her blueberry crisp recipe as your starting point.

First I rinsed and drained the blueberries.

Then I made the filling.

Do you know the difference between a fruit crisp and a fruit cobbler?

  1. Looks great! I’m not usually a berry dessert kind of gal…I don’t like the fruit when it cooks and gets mushy. I’ll put fruit on top of ice cream! I just installed the recipe card plugin too 🙂

  2. Looks delicious – I like the plug-in!

  3. I do not know the difference!! Is there one?

  4. I Love fruit crisps and cobblers.

    This sounds delish. I think as a vegan I could swap some of the ingredients and have an alternative for those days when I have a major sweet-tooth. Thank you for sharing!

  11. Yum!!! I bet this would be so good, especially while strawberries are in season!
