Blueberry Crumble Recipe (Extra Blueberries)

A plate and fork with a slice of blueberry crumble and whipped cream on it

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

This blueberry crumble has layers of plump and juicy blueberries covered with a crumbly topping and piled high with vanilla ice cream (sigh…). Can you tell I’m looking at the picture, typing this?

This is my favorite blueberry crumble because: (1) it tastes incredible (2) it’s not overly sweet; a perfect balance of sweet and sour (3) this blueberry crumble is easy to prepare! You don’t have to blanch the fruit, or peel the skin, pit, or slice as with my peach and apricot crumble (although when those stone fruits come in season, you have to try that one too; trust me!).

This crumble is done in 5 easy steps. You’ll impress your family and friends and they’ll think you spent loads of time on it; your secret is safe with me ;).

Did you know cinnamon really intensifies the flavor of blueberries? Also, lemon juice and lemon zest go really well with blueberries. I knew both so I figured they could jam together. I was on to something! This blueberry crumble will knock your socks off and you’ll be running back for more.

Ingredients for the Blueberry Crumble Filling:

2 to 2 1/4 pounds (about 36 oz) fresh blueberries, rinsed and well-drained
2 Tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp lemon zest (zest of 1 lemon)
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon

Blueberry Crumble Recipe-2

Ingredients for the Blueberry Crumble Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour *measured correctly
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1/8  tsp (generous pinch) of salt
8 Tbsp (1 stick) cold, unsalted butter, diced
½ cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup sliced almonds, divided

Blueberry Crumble Recipe-3

To Serve:

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, optional

How to Make the Best Blueberry Crumble:

1. Toss blueberries with 2 Tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp lemon zest and set aside.

Blueberry Crumble Recipe-4

2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup sugar, 3 Tbsp flour and 1 tsp ground cinnamon and toss with the blueberries just until evenly coated. Pour into a 9 x 13– inch baking dish.

3. In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar,  1/3 cup brown sugar, and 1/8  tsp of salt. Pulse several times to combine. Add the diced cold butter and pulse until the butter is the size of peas.

4. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add 1/2 cup oatmeal and use your hands to make large crumbles. Add ½ cup of the sliced almonds and mix to combine.

Blueberry Crumble Recipe-16

5. Spread the topping over the fruit and cover evenly, then sprinkle ½ cup of almonds over the top. Bake 40 minutes at 350˚F. The blueberries should be bubbling at the edges and the topping and almonds should be golden brown.

Blueberry Crumble Recipe-6

Here’s the hard part: let the crumble sit for at least 15 minutes before serving (it will thicken slightly as it cools). This will stay warm for a couple hours. It reheats beautifully the next day.

      He Heather! I think that would work fine too. I would not recommend steel-cut oats. You’ll want something that will cook faster. That is why I recommend quick-cooking oats.

    I love fruit crisps but have not found a reliable recipe until this one. I added some nutmeg to the fruit along with the cinnamon. The topping was great. Next time, I will cut down on the flour and increase the oats as I like a lot of oats in my crisp. Will definitely use this recipe with peaches and other summer fruit..

        1 pint = 2 cups
        2 cups = 16 oz.

        So, three pints would be 48 oz., not 36 oz. . . . right?

    I would like to make this for Thanksgiving and will need to double the amount. I have fresh FROZEN blueberries. Am I better off thawing them first and then making the crumble or just use them frozen? If I make it two days in advance, what’s the best way to heat it up when I need it?

      Hi Claire, I think it would work but thaw them in the fridge and use 1 Tbsp more flour and 1 Tbsp less lemon juice since frozen berries can be a bit juicier.

        And I think you could just pop it back into the oven for a few mins to reheat like any other thing.

        350 for 10-15mins depending on the size.

    Great recipe, Natasha! Very simple.

    I didn’t quite have 2 pounds of blueberries, so I used an 8×8 pan that held my quantity perfectly.

    I also added 1/2 Tbs of mesquite flour to the topping to add some flavor richness and profile.

    I prepared a couple hours in advanced of consumption and then used the microwave to re-heat it before topping with vanilla bean ice cream.

    Thank you for sharing!

    Love this crumble! My husband told me he could eat the entire dish in one sitting 😉 One thing I will say is that next time I make this, I will only add the second half cup of sliced almonds during the last few minutes of baking. Maybe my oven is just really hot, but I found the almonds were getting over-browned and I was pulling them off during the bake to prevent burning.

    I used frozen blueberries left over from summer to make your recipe. It turned out goodg, but think fresh would have been better yet. Your recipe called for a teaspoon of cinnamon; however, only 1/2 teaspoon was called for in the filling and no mention of what to do with the other 1/2 of teaspoon. I added it to the topping. Should I have used the full teaspoon in the filling?

      Hi Cindy, I didn’t realize I missed that! Thank you for pointing that out. It should be 1 tsp. Even if you put 1/2 tsp it wouldn’t harm the recipe, but we did use 1 tsp. I Do think fresh blueberries stay plump and hold up better in this crumble :).

    I was looking for a blueberry crumble recipe and came here because of the many good reviews. Now I’m adding my own raves. My husband said “This is the best dessert I’ve had in a long time.” I knew lemon and cinnamon went well with blueberries separately, but never tried them together. It’s a triumph. I put chopped almonds in the crumble, and topped with walnuts. Thanks for this recipe. It’s perfect.

    Hi Natasha,
    I just found your website this month and decided to give the blueberry crumble a try. I loved the simplicity and it came out as promised! I wanted to mention that I found I needed more oats for a 9 x 13 pan, so I increased from a half cup to 1 cup. I also decided to lightly broil the topping after 40 minutes of cooking, to give it a more golden color. It was delicious and I’m excited to try more of your recipes. Thank you!

        A knife and fork can also do the job well if you don’t want to get your hands dirty. Both are much easier to clean than other items. My family has used this method for generations when cutting a fat into flour.
        I’m going to try this recipe as I must limit my food to low-fat. I am also going to try the Creamy Tomato with Chicken recipe but not use full fat products. I’ll let you know how both go. Thanks for the ideas!!!

    I am sure this recipe is delicious — I skipped over it because of 2 things — I don’t usually weigh food. Just tell me how many cups of blueberries to use. Secondly, what size pan is optimum? too small/deep the fruit doesn’t get done, and too large/shallow, the fruit is mushy. Cooking is not “intuitive” for me — after spending good money for top-quality ingredients, I expect exact directions and specific sizes so that I am assured of a success.
