Vegan Blueberry Crisp

Our favorite Quebec berries often entice us to buy them in large quantities. Whether from a visit to a “pick-your-own” farm or simply a visit to your local market, they’re home-grown, and they’re DELICIOUS! In addition to their great taste, these little blue gems have great antioxidant power. So, move over apple crisp… try our blueberry crisp instead. Enjoy!

Preparation time:  20-30 minutes

Cooking time: 30-40 minutes

Servings: 6 portions

Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups (375ml) quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
• 1/3 cup pecans
• ½ cup (125ml) textured vegetable protein granules
• ½ cup (125ml) brown sugar
• 3 tbsp (45ml) oat flour
• 1 tsp (5ml) cinnamon
• ½ tsp (2.5ml) baking powder
• 2 tbsp (30ml) melted margarine
• 2 tbsp (30ml) chia seeds
• 5 tbsp (75ml) tempered water
• 4 cups (1L) fresh or frozen blueberries
• 2 tbsp (30ml) maple syrup
• 1 tbsp (15ml) lemon juice

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Prepare blueberry mixture. In a bowl, combine blueberries, maple syrup and lemon juice. Spread blueberry mixture on bottom of 8×8-inch square pan.
3. Prepare crunchy cereal mixture. First mix the chia seeds with the water, then let the mixture gel for 5 to 10 minutes. The result is a “chia egg”. This is used to replace eggs in vegan recipes.
4. Meanwhile, toast the pecans in a frying pan over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Coarsely chop pecans.
5. In a large bowl, combine oats, pecans, textured vegetable protein, brown sugar, oat flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Add chia egg and melted margarine to dry mixture and mix well.
6. Cooking. Spread this cereal mixture evenly over blueberry layer in pan, pressing lightly.
7. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until cereal mixture begins to brown.
8. Cool, then serve your blueberry crisp with your choice of one of these side dishes:
   • Greek yogurt and fruit
   • Frozen yogurt and fruit coulis
   • Whipped cream and fresh berries
   • Maple syrup filet with fresh berries
   • Apple/cinnamon compote
