Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons, cold unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish. Toss 2 cups fresh blueberries with 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender in the dish until evenly coated.
- Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, and 2 tablespoons coconut sugar. Cut in 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs and holds together when pressed.
- Step 3: Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the blueberry filling, pressing gently to form a single layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the fruit is bubbling around the edges and the topping is golden brown, rotating the dish halfway through for even browning.
