I totally intended to make this dish last week (for the challenge, of course) or at least this past weekend, but time escaped me. I didn't want my blueberries to go bad (since I had fresh ones on hand), so I went ahead and prepared the crisp tonight.
I figured dessert would go well with the light soup dinner we had.
I tweaked the recipe for The Neely's Blueberry Crisp to be a little healthier and because I had significantly less blueberries on hand than the recipe required.
I made a couple other small changes like subbing whole wheat flour for all purpose and subbing canola oil for butter.
Not sure I'm 100% happy with the results, but it did the trick and my sweet tooth has been satisfied. 🙂
