FINE.

This healthy blueberry crumble is the perfect summer dessert. It’s refreshing, crispy, juicy, and just the perfect amount of sweetness.  The recipe can also very easily be adapted for a strawberry  or raspberry crumble. But blueberries really are the best option.

Plus, DID YOU KNOW that Blueberries have a plethora of health benefits from bone health to skin health to cancer prevention to blood health, and the list goes on and on…

Did I mention yet how easy it is to make this healthy blueberry crumble?!

Simply pour your blueberries into a baking dish, and mix around with some vanilla and some lemon zest.

In the meantime, mix your oats and a couple other ingredients in a bowl, sprinkle on top of your mixture, bake, wait, and serve! 

I love the cold/warm contrast of serving this crumble with some Vanilla ice cream, or even a big dollop of cold Greek yogurt.
