Gluten Free Blueberry Crisp with Maple syrup
Blueberries and Maple syrup (you’ve got to use the real stuff), Oats and Almond flour, come together to make a delicious, easy, and relatively healthy dessert. I guarantee, the whole family will love this Gluten Free Blueberry crisp.
Made with almond flour and oats, there is no flour involved. It wasn’t developed specifically to be Gluten Free, but I love how the almond flour adds both a little extra crispness and a slight nuttiness to the topping.
Do I have to add the Rosemary?
You don’t, but I think you’ll really like it. It’s honestly a small amount, and it just adds a slight note of floral earthiness, rounding out the sweetness of the blueberries and the maple syrup. I know it’s unusual, but it’s good! Still not convinced? No problem, just leave it out and proceed with the recipe as directed.
