Savor the last of this summer’s delicious blueberries with this blueberry crumble that is free from peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, egg, soy, wheat, and is gluten-free and vegan.
Ingredients for the filling:
- 1 ½ cups Local blueberries
- 2 Tablespoons cane sugar
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 2 teaspoons non-GMO cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon gluten-free vanilla extract
Ingredients for the crumble:
- 1 cup gluten-free flour blend (ex. King Arthur Cup for Cup)
- ¾ cup gluten-free rolled oats
- ½ cup (packed) brown sugar
- ¼ cup butter substitute (ex. Earth’s Balance buttery sticks) cut into ½ inch slices
- Pinch of salt
Instructions for the filling:
In a small heavy saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until blueberries begin to break down, about 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and add gluten-free vanilla. Set aside to cool.
Instructions for the crumble:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 9×9 inch baking pan
- In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, gluten-free oats, sugar, and salt.
- Add the cold butter substitute and use your fingers to rub it into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs about the size of small peas. Place ½ the mixture in the bottom of the 9×9 pan and press down lightly. Spoon filling on top then sprinkle remaining crumble on top.
- Bake 50 – 55 minutes until the top is lightly browned and filling is bubbling.
- Allow to cool at least 30 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite safe vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
