Blueberry Crisp

 
This Blueberry Crisp is heaven on a plate. If you are a fan of blueberries this is the recipe you must try! This blueberry version was inspired by my Apple Crisp a recipe that has been made and loved! by hundreds!
Double Crust Blueberry Crisp
You read that right. Two layers of crispy oatmeal crust perfection. I tested this recipe several times before coming back to the original. Fun fact for you this recipe is excellent both hot and cold! It is the ideal combination of rich oat crisp paired with fresh blueberries and just the right about of buttery richness. If you are looking for the best blueberry crisp you have ever tried look no further. I also have a Blueberry Puff Pastry Bake you will love!

Brown Sugar Blueberry Crisp
Most recipes call for all granulated sugar or 12 granulated and 12 brown. While these recipes are sweet they lack the depth of flavor that all brown sugar adds. And after you try this blueberry crisp you will definitely understand what I mean! I used a light brown sugar but you can use a dark brown sugar as well. If you dont happen to have any brown sugar on hand you can always make your own!
How to Make Homemade Brown Sugar
For light brown sugar add 12 tablespoons of molasses to 1 cup of granulated sugar. For dark brown sugar add 34 tablespoons to 1 cup of granulated sugar. I like to mix up a big batch in my food processor but you can also mix by hand if you prefer.
Fresh vs Frozen Blueberries
I much prefer using fresh blueberries in this recipe. They tend to stay firm and release their sweet juices just at the right time while baking. However this recipe calls for 10 cups of blueberries and unless you can hit the blueberry farm like we do every summer that might get expensive.
If you want to use frozen blueberries you will want to bake them frozen. Do not thaw. If you thaw them they will get very mushy and you wont be able to toss them in the sugar flour mixture.
When using frozen blueberries you will also need to bake the crisp for 15 minutes longer. I recommend adding foil to the top for the last additional 15 minutes so that the crisp doesnt burn.
Oat Mixture for Blueberry Crisp
As you can see I use brown sugar in the blueberry coating
