Gluten Free Blueberry Crisp Recipe

I love blueberry crisp, but I have to eat Gluten Free. Because of my restricted diet, I really appreciate the added nutrients that come from Sunset Valley Organics Blueberries. This works just as well with Frozen Berries as fresh, so it can be made any time of the year. Try this one out, and tell me what you think.

Gluten Free Blueberry Crisp
2 Pints (3-4 cups) Fresh or Frozen Blueberries - washed
1 cup gluten free all purpose flour (I used Pamela's wheat free bread mix)
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup Shortening (Butter or Margarine depending on your sensitivity to dairy)
1/3 cup gluten free oats

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease the bottom of an 8 x 8 baking dish.

Mix the blueberries with 2 Tbs of the flour mixture and place in the dish.

Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, oats and shortening. Use a fork to mix the shortening through the mixture. Hint: the shortening works best if cold / solid.

Pour mixture over the top of the blueberries and bake in oven for 30 minutes or until it bubbles and the crust is browned.

I need to thank my friends at the GF/CF forum for this one. -- Its awesome!

Is there fiber in blueberries?

YES! Organic Blueberries are a great, nutritious and delicious source of fiber! Blueberries are a good source of vitamin C and fiber. One cup of conventional blueberries equals one serving and provides 15 percent of the vitamin C and 14 percent of the dietary fiber needed daily. We've measured Sunset Valley Organics Vitamin C, and know you'll get twice the Vitamin C as conventional berries, and we're working out how to measure the fiber in our very uniquely grown, certified organic produce. Blueberries do not contain any cholesterol or fat and are low in calories. Include blueberries in your diet.
