Blueberry Crisp, one recipe two ways

Photobucket


My mom actually gave me the recipe for the sweeter version seen here


The big carton of fresh blueberries I think about 3 or 4 cups

2 tablespoons white sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups rolled oats

1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 1/4 cups butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, gently toss together blueberries, and white sugar; set aside.

3. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press half of mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Cover with berries. Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over the berries.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown.

This disappeared really fast especially since we had company staying with us all weekend so I decided since we ate it so alarmingly fast I decided to try and make a much healthier version

And changed the ingredients to

3 or 4 cups fresh blueberries

1 tablespoon all-purpose sugar

… then this is where it gets tricky since I tend to not measure when I cook…

1 ½ cups all purpose flour

2 ½ cups rolled oats

1 more cup rolled oats for later

1 cup brown sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 cup walnuts

1 stick of butter

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. In a large bowl, gently toss together blueberries, and white sugar; set aside.

3. In a food processer blend walnuts until fine.

4. In a separate large bowl, combine flour, walnuts, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press half of mixture in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Cover with berries.

5. Add the extra oats Sprinkle remaining crumble mixture over the berries.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 30 minutes, or until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown.

I like the second one much better since it is a lot healthier… still not necessarily a heath food but you can get away with eating it for breakfast and then at dessert just put a small scoop a vanilla ice cream on top and there you go a yummy breakfast and a relatively healthy dessert!
