How to make healthy blueberry crumble

Crumble:

Oats: One of the main ingredients of the crumble - oats! They provide a hearty, wholesome texture and taste.
Nuts: I use walnuts or pecans for ultimate nuttiness.
Butter: Provides that fabulous buttery flavor and brings the crumble topping together.
Honey: Provides sweetness, but not too much.
Lemon zest: Offers bright, citrusy flavor.
Vanilla and almond extracts: Flavor, flavor, flavor. Don't skip the almond extract, it's absolutely fabulous.
Salt: To bring out and enhance the flavors of everything else.

Blueberry Filling:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 9x9 baking dish. Set aside.
Place all crumble ingredients in a medium glass mixing bowl and stir to combine.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, stir together the blueberry filling ingredients until combined.
Pour the blueberry mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the oat crumble mixture on top of the blueberries.
Bake 30-40 minutes, until blueberries start to burst and topping is lightly browned.
Serve over yogurt or with ice cream.

For the oats: Use old-fashioned rolled or quick oats.
For the nuts: Try with sliced almonds.
For the butter: Try with coconut oil.
For the honey: Try with maple syrup.
For the blueberries: Use any berries or a combination of berries. Use another fruit like dark sweet cherries or peaches.
For the sugar: Use granulated or brown sugars, honey or maple syrup.

To make this gluten free: Use gluten free oats. Be sure all packaged ingredients are gluten free.
To make this dairy free: This recipe does not contain dairy. Serve with dairy free ice cream or frozen yogurt.
To make this vegan: Use coconut oil instead of butter. Use maple syrup instead of honey. Serve with plant-based ice cream or frozen yogurt.
To make this nut free: Skip the nuts and use more oats. Be sure all packaged ingredients are nut free.
To make this egg free: This recipe does not contain eggs.
To make this even lower in sugar: Use less sugar or substitute some or all with a sugar substitute like Swerve, stevia or monk fruit.
