Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 2 tablespoons old fashioned oats
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the blueberries into a small baking dish or divide between two large ramekins. Lightly mash some of the berries with a fork.
  3. Add the honey, lemon juice, vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and cornstarch to the berries. Stir gently to combine.
  4. In a small bowl, combine oats, flour, protein powder (if using), brown sugar, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon.
  5. Add the cold butter cubes and use your fingers to rub the mixture together until it resembles coarse, clumpy sand.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the blueberry filling.
  7. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the blueberries are bubbling and the topping is golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen blueberries if fresh aren’t available; increase baking time slightly.
  • Substitute oat flour to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Add nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch.
  • Stir in chia seeds for added fiber and texture.
  • Top with yogurt or plant-based yogurt for a creamy finish.
