There aren’t many things better than a yummy fruit cobbler during those spring and summer months. I love taking advantage of berries when they are in season and using them in a variety of recipes.

Blueberry season means blueberry crisp!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

  • Boosted with nutrients: Einkorn flour is an ancient grain that hasn’t been processed the same way modern wheat has. Due to this, it is packed full of protein and vitamins, and boasts a much lower gluten content than modern flour, making it a good option for those with gluten sensitivities.
  • Quick and easy: This recipe comes together easily with simple, whole food ingredients that most everyone already has on hand. Better yet, it can be prepped and baked in under an hour.
  • Blueberries get a chance to shine: Sweet and juicy blueberries baked until soft and tender and topped with a buttery, gooey brown sugar topping…heaven! Take advantage of blueberries during peak season to really let their flavor shine.

Ingredients

This recipe requires only a handful of simple, wholesome ingredients that you likely already have hanging around your kitchen! You’ll need:

  • Einkorn flour- I use all purpose Einkorn flour from Jovial foods.
  • Rolled oats
  • Butter- I use salted butter, but unsalted butter will also work!
  • Blueberries- Fresh or frozen will work for this recipe.
  • Cinnamon
  • Salt- I like Redmond mineral salt.
  • Vanilla extract

How to Make Einkorn Blueberry Crisp

This method for this easy blueberry cobbler is simple. It is simply a layer of fruit (in this case yummy sweet blueberries) topped with a delicious crumble topping.

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 5 cups of blueberries, 1/4 cup einkorn flour, 2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/3 cup of brown sugar. Mix together gently, and then pour the blueberry filling into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  3. In a separate bowl, prepare the crumble topping by combining rolled oats, flour, cinnamon, salt, and cubed cold butter. Work the butter into the rest of the ingredients using a fork, pastry cutter, or by simply using your hands. You could also add it to the food processor and pulse it a few times until it obtains a crumbly texture.
  4. Spread the crumble topping mixture over the blueberries, making sure to spread as evenly as you can.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 33-35 minutes or until lightly golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Let cool slightly before digging in. Serve warm with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. Yum!

FAQs

What are the benefits of einkorn flour?

Einkorn wheat is an ancient grain that has not been hybridized like most modern wheat. This results in a flour that is more nutrient dense and packed full of b vitamins (unlike modern flour), with more protein and a lower gluten content that is much easier to digest, making it a good option for folks with gluten sensitivities.

How do I store blueberry crisp?

I find that with most any fruit cobbler, it stores well on the counter covered in plastic wrap for 1-2 days. You could also store it in an airtight container.

Quick Tips for Success

  • If you don’t have frozen blueberries, fresh berries work just fine as a substitute.
  • No need to thaw frozen berries! They can be added right into the recipe with no issue.
  • I prefer to use rolled oats (this is the brand of sprouted rolled oats I love), but you can substitute for old fashioned oats if needed.
  • Use whatever type of berry you prefer! I always recommend using whatever is in season. Lemon zest would be a delicious addition to this recipe.
  • There are many ingredient substitutions you can do in this recipe. If you don’t have all purpose einkorn flour on hand, regular all purpose or whole wheat flour will work just fine too. You can also substitute brown sugar for regular white sugar or even coconut sugar.
