Blueberry Crisp

Blueberry Crisp

It’s getting to be the end of berry season, I guess. Much sadness. I ate so many blueberries this summer though! Every time I saw them on sale anywhere, I’d buy a bunch, eat as many as I could while they were fresh and then hoard the rest in the freezer. I just used the last of my stash for a blueberry crisp and it’s too good not to share. Frozen blueberries work just as well. Now that I think of it, I bet frozen peaches would be good, too!

But I’m getting sidetracked… on to the recipe so you can make your own! I saw a recipe in Nisha Vora’s Vegan Instant Pot book. I’m not one to completely follow directions so I took bits of inspiration and went off in my own direction. Her recipe is for peaches and raspberry filling cooked in the instant pot.

This would be amazing with some vegan vanilla ice cream, but I like it just fine as it is.
