This Crock Pot Blueberry Crisp recipe is an easy dessert packed with blueberries and oats! A simple, super delicious crock pot dessert perfect for summer!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE CROCKPOT DESSERTS FOR SUMMER
Whoa-ho-hooooaaa! I ♥ today’s recipe!!
Hey Hey, buds! THAT is a dessert in the crock pot! This is where we’re headed today – welcome aboard!
Ain’t this dessert the perfect way to start your Monday? I hope so! Totally fits in with the whole Meatless Mondays movement. And you won’t have to trade in your bikini for a two-piece – this Blueberry Crisp swings toward the healthIER side of things.
By now, you probably all know that I am obsessed with cooking in the crock pot, but I had yet to try a dessert using my all time favorite appliance.
Well wait. Not quite entirely true because there’s that Crock Pot Creamy Banana French Toast I made for us a while back and that should most definitely count as dessert. Breakfast-dessert, if you will.
Aaaand, now that I think about it, I’ve also made a cake in the crock pot…
Okay so scratch the above. (Forgive me, it’s Monday)
Honestly, though. It would seem that you can throw just about anything into a crock pot (slow cooker?) and end up with superb results.
HOW TO MAKE THIS EASY CROCK POT DESSERT
Let’s get right down to it. This is something you should make if you like blueberries, sweet options, and a cool (as in temperature) house. Check, Check, and Check.
I have always loved blueberries, especially when they come in a delicious cobbler/crisp form, but cranking up the oven in the middle of a crazy-humid 102-degrees-summer? Ugh! Just ain’t my thing. But what do you do when you end up with 5 large wooden crates of berries? Exactly. We make a Blueberry Crisp.
First you’re going to layer a bunch of blueberries on the bottom of your crock pot. THEN! You’ll sprinkle some sugar on top with a squeeze of lemon juice. Next, you’ll mix up the dry ingredients, layer them over the blueberries and tah-dahm! Fin. Finito. Terminado. Kraj.
PS. There’s oats in there. It’s healthy.
PSS. There’s some butter and light brown sugar in there, too. It’s healthy for the soul.
Find a minute, or couple of hours, and make this! Impress them all at your next gathering with your version of a slow cooker dessert. It will be our little secret!
ENJOY!

For the Crockpot Blueberry Crisp, it doesn’t say what to do with the sugar, lemon zest & lemon juice mixture. It says to mix them, then set them aside. Do you add that to the oats & brown sugar mixture before adding on top of the blueberries?
Hi!
You want to stir those into the blueberries. Scroll down to the recipe card located right above the comments section, and go to step #3:
1. Spray the inside of a 6-quart crock pot with cooking spray.
2. Layer the blueberries on the bottom of the crock pot.
3. Stir in sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice; set aside.
Hi, I don’t see how many this serves. Can I double the recipe? Would I cook it longer?
This is enough for about 4 people. You can double it, but the cooking time stays the same.
I would like to make this in my 10 at instant pot. Any suggestions?

This was, by far, the best blueberry crisp I have ever made, and I’ve made a lot in my 72 years. Our Michigan blueberries are in season and I freeze 20 lbs every summer. But it’s just too hot to turn on the oven. Whew! Thrilled I came across this recipe. Amazing. Husband says it is the best I’ve ever made. My new go-to crisp recipe.
That’s wonderful! I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
Can you substitute steel cut oats for rolled oats?
Hi! Yep, you can definitely use steel cut oats. 🙂
