This blueberry crumble has officially become my new favorite dessert (both to make and to eat)! It's super easy (basically the lazy man's blueberry pie) and it taste amazing! Grain free, gluten free, vegan, and refined sugar free, it's sure to win over any family member or guest despite their dietary preferences.
Blueberries are considered a superfood for good reason. Not only are they high in flavonoids that protect against free radical damage, but in clinical trials they also have been shown to support cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and LDL cholesterol.
While blueberries are the star of this dish, the crumbly almond flour and walnut top is just as good. You won't believe it's grain free!
