This easy healthy blueberry crumble will be your new favourite summer dessert!

This crumble is packed with fresh, local blueberries and sweetened naturally with maple syrup and a touch of coconut sugar. The best part about this dessert is that it is so simple to make – it’s a perfect option to bring for summer dinner parties. I love pairing this dessert with a scoop of coconut milk ice cream to make it extra special, but you could also add a dollop of homemade coconut whipped cream, too! I love these easy-to-whip up healthy dessert recipes because they make healthy eating stress-free and fun. Try mixing up this crumble by using whatever berry is in season – raspberries, blackberries, cherries, etc.

Note: these are the oats I use.

The benefits of blueberries

Blueberries are one of my favourite summer fruits – they are wonderful for skin health. The antioxidants in blueberries help to repair free radical damage from toxins, like cleaning chemicals, alcohol, pesticides and too much sun exposure. So you’re really killing two birds with one stone with this dessert – it’s easy to make and it’s healthy for your skin! If you want to take it to the next level, try using mixed berries. When berries are eaten together, they are known to act as a more powerful antioxidant, making your skin and body happier!
