Blueberry Crisp
"A fabulous dessert at any occasion. I have been making this recipe for over 25 years. I am not too sure where it came from. We have an abundance of blueberries in our area and I freeze them in separate packages to use when necessary."

I love this no-fuss, no-bake dessert! It's lighter than a cobbler, but very yum! Be sure to mix your flour mixture well (mine was kinda lumpy). You can also sprinkle some cocoa or nutmeg to finish it up. Thank you for the recipe! -
Great recipe... my husband ate the whole thing! I did add some lemon to the blueberry mixture to tone down the sweetness. A little zest to the crisp. I did make a double batch of the crisp for topping and added a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon and baked it for about 15 mins at 350. Excellent! -
Very easy! I prepared the blueberries in the microwave as directed, but I baked the final crisp in the oven. Yummy! -
I really recommend this recipe for a quick and very simple way to prepare a blueberry crisp. The filling is still a bit looser than I'd prefer but there is no way that can outweigh the overall taste and ease of making this dish. I have made it twice now and the 2nd time I added a bit of ground cinnamon to the blueberry mixture before cooking and it added a nice depth to the dish. Topped it once with vanilla ice cream and the other with black raspberry ice cream. Both are delicious matches to this recipe. Thanks for posting.

Really yummy, very quick, and a nice lowfat dessert. Used big fresh blueberries. Used rolled oats instead of quick and spread the topping over a microwave plate. At two minutes, mine was crunchy and done, so would suggest watching the time as microwaves vary. Would put the servings at 4 instead of 9. Next time will triple the blueberry mixture and double or triple the topping. We like cobbler around here :) Thanks for sharing your recipe!
