This Healthy Blueberry Crisp is the perfect summer dessert made with fresh or frozen blueberries and a crunchy oat-almond topping. Vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free.
Add the blueberries to a 9-inch pie dish (or similar sized baking dish). Toss the blueberries in cornstarch and maple syrup (if using) until evenly coated.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, maple syrup, melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until combined.
Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the blueberries.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberry filling is bubbly.
Let it cool for 10 minutes. Serve with a scoop of vegan ice cream or coconut whipped cream. Enjoy!

Notes
Fresh or frozen blueberries: Both work beautifully! Fresh blueberries are perfect during blueberry season, but frozen blueberries make this recipe easy to enjoy all year long. No need to thaw frozen berries first.
Make it ahead: Assemble the blueberry crisp, cover, and refrigerate unbaked for up to 1 day. When you're ready, simply bake as directed (this method works best with fresh blueberries).
Don’t skip the nuts: The combination of walnuts and almonds adds the perfect crunchy texture to every bite.
Cover with tinfoil: If the top starts browning before the fruit is bubbly, cover it with foil and continue baking.
Let it cool before serving: Allow the crisp to cool for 10 minutes after baking. This gives the blueberry filling time to thicken and makes serving much easier.
Storage: Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 325ºF until warm and crisp again (about 10-12 minutes), or microwave if you're short on time.
