Ingredients

For the blueberries:

5½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3½ tablespoons all purpose flour
½ lemon juiced
1 teaspoon lemon zest

For the topping:

⅓ cup butter softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
1¼ cups rolled oats
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

Prep. Start by preheating your oven to 375˚F. Take out a 2-quart baking dish and set it aside.
Prepare the blueberries. Place the blueberries in a large bowl. Add the flour, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss the blueberries until evenly coated, then transfer them to the baking dish. Set aside while you make the topping.
Make the topping. Add the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar to a large bowl. Mash gently with a fork to combine. Then add the oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir with the fork or with clean fingertips until crumbs form. Sprinkle the crumble all over the blueberries.
Baking time. Bake the blueberry crisp for 35-40 minutes. The top should be golden and the blueberries bubbly.
Rest, then serve. Remove the blueberry crisp from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Serve while still warm, with scoops of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Instead of oats, you can use granola. It will give more crunch.
There is no need to thaw the blueberries for this recipe. You can use frozen or fresh.
If you like more of the crunchy oat topping, you can double the topping ingredients.
You can add nuts, like sliced almonds or chopped pecans, to the topping for more flavor and crunch.
