15 Minute Blueberry Crisp

June 30, 2020

Bring on the blueberries, they are my favorite and I can’t wait to go blueberry picking soon! In the meantime I’m stocking up every time I go to the store, blueberries have been super sweet, so there is no better time to grab some blueberries and give this 15-minute blueberry crisp a try.

I just love fast desserts,

and this is not only quick,

it’s super delicious

You can eat it on its own,

you can eat it with yogurt, ice cream, top it with whipped cream

add your favorite toppings

some of my favorites are coconut, mini chocolate chips more blueberries and sliced almonds… and oh yes, whipped cream… I like it over ice cream too!

I like it when I have some of it leftover and I get to enjoy it for breakfast!

This is proof dessert doesn’t have to be complicated!

I bake mine in a cast-iron skillet, it can also be baked on a baking sheet, a casserole dish, baked into individual oven-safe dishes, or another type of baking pan can go in the oven.

This quick and easy crisp is cooked under a high broiler, turning it over with a spatula halfway through so it all gets crisp!

Alternatively, you can cook it on your grill in a cast-iron skillet as well, just get the grill nice and hot first.

Can more fruit be added?

Yes, if you plan on using more fruit 2 or 3 times the amount called for in the recipe (this recipe is made with one cup, you can easily add up to 3 cups) it’ll be more like a fruit pie with crumb topping, or a “crumble” you don’t need to adjust any other ingredients if you don’t want to.

If you want to make a really large serving more than 3 cups of berries…  then you may want to add more “crisp” topping. I would cook it at 375° for a little longer and you won’t want to turn it over with a spatula/stirring it halfway through cooking as that many berries will create more liquid and turning it will create a messier result.

You may find it better to cook it at 375-400° for 20 minutes if you have it spread to 1″ on a baking sheet the broiler will work, but if the crisp is thicker you can cook it longer with a lower temperature to be sure it won’t burn.

Can this be cooked on the stove?

Yes, place everything in a skillet and heat it over medium-high heat stir it to heat it evenly. Place a lid on for a couple of minutes at the end to be sure it’s all hot, the berries are softened.

This can also be heated on the grill, which makes it a great summertime dessert.

This answers the question, What to do with berries that are getting soft?

The fruit crisp recipe can be adapted to use any berry. And if you’re like me you buy a lot of berries and inevitably have some that will get soft before you’re ready to use them, so this is a great recipe to use them in…

Such as

  • smoothies
  • fruit syrups
  • no-churn ice creamblueberry crisp with chocolate chips, coconut, almonds, whipped cream createdbydiane.com

 

Can a different fruit be used?

Yes, any berry will work well in this recipe. Strawberries, blackberries, raspberries or mix them for a berry crisp. If you use apples the crisp will need to be baked longer to soften the apples, or you can pre-cook diced apples on the stove, I’ve sautéed apples with butter for a couple of minutes to coat them, then added two tablespoon water, and place a lid on the pan to soften them.

How else can I enjoy this?

If you happen to have any leftover, it’s great on ice cream, on yogurt for breakfast or just enjoying off the spoon for a quick snack!

Super fast and super delicious this blueberry crisp is bound to become your go-to dessert. And it's great topped with whipped cream, or ice cream and equally delicious eaten cold if you have leftovers.
Ingredients
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats, oatmeal (not quick oats)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or white sugar can be used) more sugar may be necessary if your blueberries are not very sweet.

  2. In a 10 inch cast iron skillet add oats, butter, salt, cinnamon, and blueberries, sprinkle the sugar over the top.
  3. Place the skillet under the broiler, not too close. I put mine on the second rack down from the top, at least 6 inches.
  4. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
  5. Then stir the ingredients, then spread them out again so they heat evenly.
  6. Bake for the remaining 5 minutes.
  7. Remove from the oven all allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  8. This is a great time to get any toppings you'll want ready. Whipped cream, ice cream chocolate chips, coconut, more blueberries or another fruit.
  9. Add your toppings and serve.
  10. If you have leftovers they are great hot or cold and fun swirled into a breakfast smoothie, put over a bowl of ice cream or yogurt.
