Love Of Oats

A blog dedicated to balancing a healthy and fun life… with oats!

Blueberry Heaven

Tonight after dinner and before we tackled the wedding favor project, I decided to make a blueberry crisp for my parents & brother… and of course myself… After looking up many recipes, I finally modified/combined a couple to come up with this delicious creation… I highly recommend it!

  • Mix 4 cups blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tbsp vinegar (my sub for lemon juice), 2 tbsp wheat flour (my sub for cornstarch) – pour in sprayed/greased Pyrex dish
  • Mix 3/4 cup old fashioned oats, 1/3 cup wheat flour, 1/4 cup light granulated brown sugar, and 1 tsp salt… Cut in 3 tbsp Promise Light
  • Top/sprinkle dry mixture on top of blueberry mixture in baking dish until evenly coated
  • Lightly sprinkle a few teaspoons of light granulated brown sugar on top
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until top is golden brown and blueberries are bubblin’ away

Pre-bake:

I didn’t get to take a picture of the whole dish after it had baked because everyone dug in immediately since the blueberry smell made its way throughout my house pretty quickly!  But I did get to take a picture of my yummy serving… of course!

Now it’s off to relax & get some rest… all of our favors are assembled, so now we just have to wait to do the placecards :)

    Denise ~ It was really interesting and enjoyable… however we like our pastor so it was fun… I have other friends who didn’t like it though!

    my friend gave me a recipe for a similar dish, but it’s more of a baked oatmeal breakfast thing. But it’s so good, we just call it The Big O. For Oatmeal, of course (wink)

    Looks delicious! I’m always tempted to stick my fork right into the big dish. None of this measuring out individual portions for everyone:P

    Melissa ~ I read several recipes that called for frozen but I actually used fresh b/c I had them on hand… I’m sure either would work!

    mangochild ~ awww thanks… i’m pretty sure that promise light is not vegan, but can’t 100% confirm… i know some of the vegan bloggers use earth balance as a sub, so maybe try that? :)

    Thanks everyone – it was delish!
