A Healthy Dessert for Mother’s Day!

September 17, 2024 By Cindy Silver

Blueberry Crisp
Fresh or frozen blueberries work great in this easy-to-make dessert!

Mother’s Day & Blueberries!

A healthy dessert for Mother’s Day reminds me of all the blueberries I’ve picked in my life. As a kid, along with my brother and sister, I picked blueberries as a summer yard chore in Washington state. As an adult, in North Carolina, I pick blueberries in my front yard – not so much a chore as a pleasure. Here’s a picture of me with my blueberry bushes just for fun.

Blueberry Crisp Recipe!

As a mother and a lover of blueberries, I want to share this special recipe for Mother’s Day. I have probably made it 100 times and every time it turns out the same – sweet from the goodness of the blueberries, juicy from the moisture of the blueberries, crispy on top from the oatmeal and easy-to-make because of the simple ingredients. Not only that, if you want to make a healthy recipe for Mother’s Day, this is definitely the recipe for you!

I found this interesting info graphic about the health benefits of blueberries so please take a look.

Blueberry Crisp Recipe

A dessert rich with healthy fruit and not too much added sugar! Kids can help by washing the fruit, measuring the ingredients and crumbling the topping, with supervision.

Makes 6 servings

4 cups Blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 Tablespoon Lemon or lime juice, the amount of juice in ½ lemon or lime
2-4 Tablespoons Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon

Topping:

2 Tablespoons Butter, unsalted, or buttery spread with 0 trans fat
1/4 cup Whole wheat flour
1/4 cup Oatmeal, old fashioned or quick (not instant)
1/4 cup Brown sugar, packed

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray a 9 x 9 inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
  2. Place fruit into the pan.
  3. Squeeze lemon or lime juice evenly over fruit.
  4. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon evenly over the top of fruit.
  5. Mix topping ingredients with a fork, pastry blender or very clean hands until crumbly. Sprinkle topping evenly over fruit.
  6. Bake 25-30 minutes until the fruit is tender. Do not overcook or the fruit will become mushy.
