Easy Blueberry Crumble | Healthy Dessert

Well, hello there to all you wonderful Shabby Creek Cottage readers! My name is Laura and I blog at Inspiration for Moms. I am so excited to be sharing a sweet treat with you once a month as a new Dessert Contributor.

I thought I would share a little about myself before we dip our spoons into this sweet Blueberry Crumble a’ la Mode. 

 
blueberry crumbleI live in beautiful Colorado with my awesome husband and our adorable seven year-old son. I’m a stay-at-home mom that loves a quick craft or an easy recipe. I LOVE inspirational quotes and rich chocolate. I could eat Mexican food every night with a smile. 

Gina is just the sweetest lady ever! She asked me to share a monthly dessert that was delicious and healthy. When I heard that I was like, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! So let’s talk dessert.

One of my favorite ways to enjoy a low-calorie dessert is baking fruit. During the winter months there is almost nothing better than a warm treat at the end of a long, cold day. By using naturally sweet fruit as the main ingredient, you can use less sugar without sacrificing your sweet tooth. For this recipe I used blueberries, but you could use almost any type of fresh fruit combination. Cherries would be awesome. Or even blackberries. Wait…or how about a combination of all three. Now we’re cooking!

My recipe is a little different from your traditional crumble/crisp because I chose to make this gluten-free. My husband needs to be on a gluten-free diet and making a dessert that he can’t partake in, is well…not good for your marriage! πŸ™‚ But don’t worry! If you are not into gluten-free, you can still make this low-calorie treat. Simply substitute with all-purpose flour and regular oats, which you probably already have on hand.

This Blueberry Crumble has a nice combination of sweet with a little crunch from the oats. A little frozen yogurt or ice cream on top is the perfect way to complete the low 288 calorie per serving treat.

    This dessert sounds so good, Laura. And i’m so glad it’s gluten-free because I am gluten intolerant. It’s not fun having to skip out on dessert.

    I’m pinning this recipe to try!

      I hope you give it a try, Sharon. I think the key to really good gluten free recipes is almond flour. It’s amazing!
