Blueberry Crumble for One

Fruit cobblers and berry crisps are one of my most favorite desserts–especially when topped with some ice cream!

A couple of weeks ago I saw a post on the Heather Eats Almond Butter blog about blueberry crumble. Heather tried out a recipe for the crumble that she found on Yoga is Yummy.

I’m a sucker for a simple list of ingredients, so I was instantly intrigued. I wanted to scale the recipe back a bit to a single serving that I could fit in a mini ramekin, so I only used the following:

1/2 cup blueberries
1 tbsp Hodgson Mill oat bran
1 tsp Trader Joe’s Crunchy Salted Almond Butter
1/2 tsp Honey
1 drop vanilla extract

First, I sprayed a mini ramekin with cooking spray then dumped in the blueberries. I added the remaining ingredients to a separate bowl:

Next, I mixed up the crumble and plopped it onto the blueberries little by little to ensure even distribution.

Popped this baby into a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes, and VOILA:

Y-U-M:

This was yummy! Couple points though — if you are looking for a sweet tasting crumble, you will need to make some modifications as there is no sweetener in the recipe above. A couple of options for sweetening things up include sprinkling a packet of Truvia over the blueberries and/or using a sweeter peanut butter (as we all know I still love and adore JIF peanut butter to this day). Of course another option would be to add a big scoop of ice cream to the top….

I’m a bean counting CPA by trade, but my true passion is food. It is the unabashed soul of my being. The history, the culture, the taste, the experience–I am fascinated and enchanted by it all. I devote my free time almost entirely to scouting out delicious restaurants and cooking up new recipes. It makes me especially happy when I can take a recipe and “healthify” it. By this I mean turn it into something healthy and nutritious that still tastes friggin’ delicious. I love to connect with readers, restaurants, and those in public relations, so email me and let’s talk food! Google
