Blueberry Granola Crisp



This was an amazing treat that took a little bit of time to make, but is completely worth every second. It is sweet but not too sweet and it make only two serving which makes it even more perfect!

I topped my blueberry crisp with some lite cool whip. I would love to try it at some point with a scoop of ice cream but currently ice cream is not safe in our house.

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup low-fat, ready-to-eat granola cereal
  • 10 oz unsweetened frozen blueberries
  • 2 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp orange zest
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 tsp table salt
  • 1 tsp honey
  • lite cool whip or ice cream (optional)
 Directions
  • In a saucepan, combine sugar, nutmeg, frozen berries, and cornstarch in a saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring gently and frequently with a rubber spatula.
  • Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened – about 3 minutes.
  • Turn off heat, stir in fresh blueberries, orange rind and salt, and set aside to cool for 10 minutes
  • Meanwhile, in toaster oven or dry skillet, toast granola until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. I used the oven broiler and it worked great.
  • To serve, divide blueberry mixture among 2 bowls and top with granola and drizzle each serving with ½ tsp honey.
