This super quick recipe creates a healthy, easy blueberry crumble that has all the flavour you love with new health benefits. Using no butter, it’s a vegan blueberry crumble too! You could also use the vegan crumble topping with other fruits if you wish.
The dessert is a guaranteed family pleaser, ready in half an hour with lashings of sweet blueberries. For a variation, you might like to add some other berries to the mix.
I would also play around with adding a teaspoon of finely grated lemon rind to the blueberries. I love the combination of lemon and blueberries.
Thanks to Leah Itsines and Australian Blueberries for the recipe.

Fun facts about blueberries
- The Australian blueberry season officially runs from July until April. However, the peak season typically runs from August until November.
- The darker the blueberry, the riper it is. This is because the anthocyanin content, which is the blue/purple/red pigment, increases as the blueberries ripen.
- Store your blueberries in the refrigerator, and they will keep fresh for up to 10 days.
- The silvery sheen or bloom found on the skin of blueberries is a naturally occurring compound that helps protect the fruit. That’s why you should only wash blueberries just before you eat.
- Blueberries are an excellent source of fibre which is essential for gut wellness.
- Recent research shows that serving fresh blueberries every day can help improve memory recall in children. Try giving them Easy Blueberry Crumble while they are doing their homework.
