Serves: 4-6
 
Ingredients
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
  • zest of 1/2 a small orange
  • 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat white flour (or any flour you prefer)
  • 1/8 teaspoon apple pie spice (or cinnamon and nutmeg to taste)
  • dash of salt
  • 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pea-sized pieces
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Place blueberries in a large bowl. If they were just washed leave them a little wet. If they are already dry add a teaspoon of water.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar and the orange zest and gently mix until berries are coated. I use my hands for this.
  4. Pour berries into a 9-inch pie plate or divide evenly among individual ramekins.
  5. Wipe out the bowl and use it to combine the oats, flour, remaining 4 tablespoons of brown sugar, spice, and salt.
  6. Incorporate the butter pieces with your hands until you have a coarse, crumbly mixture and then sprinkle it evenly over the blueberries.
  7. Bake for about 25 minutes or until blueberries are bubbly and topping is lightly browned and crisp.
