Cherished Cottage

Does anyone else have moments where they just don’t know what to have for dinner and end up just having waffles and ice cream? I swear I’ve only met one other family that does this but sometimes it’s the best option we can come up with when everyone’s had a long and rough day and doesn’t want to cook.

That night was tonight but we didn’t want waffles (who wouldn’t want ice cream?) so I decided to make blueberry crisp instead. My old elementary school has a fundraiser each year in which they sell 10 pound boxes of blueberries for a pretty fair price. Every year my mom orders two boxes so this year I decided to use up some of them right away (I’m not a huge blueberry fan).

This is a pretty quick and easy recipe and it has the perfect amount of sweetness.

Here’s what you’ll need:

For the blueberries:

• 6 cups of blueberries (We freeze our blueberries so they won’t go bad as quickly so the ones I used for my cobbler were still frozen but they don’t have to be)
• 1 tablespoon of flour (you’ll need to use 2 tablespoons if they’re frozen)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Put your blueberries in a large bowl and coat them with the flour and brown sugar. Set aside.

For the cobbler:

• 2 cups of oats
• 1 cup of pecans (I used chopped)
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar
• 1 1/2 – 2 sticks of butter

1. Preheat oven to 375°
2. Pour blueberries into 8×8 greased pan
3. Put oats and pecans in food processor until chopped finely
4. Put the oat-pecan mixture in mixer and add in the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon sugar, and butter.
5. Mix until it’s clumpy (the amount of “clumpiness” is up to you, some people prefer it to be very fine while others prefer is to be more chunky.
6. Sprinkle mixture over the blueberries and you’re ready to bake!
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes.

Enjoy
