An irresistible dessert with a silly nickname, this classic crisp is easy to make and oh-so good to eat!
When we visit my in-laws at their lake house every summer, one of our favorite activities is blueberry picking. We can literally walk out the door, empty pretzel tub in hand, and pick away.
Fresh blueberries on my morning oatmeal is a treat, but Blueberry Jammie makes everyone swoon.
Blueberry Jammie, you ask?
Well, this is a version of blueberry crisp we hit upon about five years ago, and my mother-in-law literally made it five nights in a row during one summer visit. We just couldn’t get enough.
Since she is known as Jammie to her eight grandchildren, she renamed the dessert in her honor…and the name stuck!
The kitchen smells heavenly when this dessert is baking. Top the warm crisp with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for blueberry perfection!
- 3 cups fresh blueberries*
- 2 tablespoons freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup oats (can use quick-cooking or old-fashioned)
- 1/3 cup butter, very soft or melted
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- vanilla ice cream for serving
-
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
-
Place blueberries in an ungreased, 8×8-inch baking dish and sprinkle with lemon juice.
-
Mix the brown sugar, flour, oats, butter, cinnamon, and salt. (You can use your fingers to combine well.)
-
Sprinkle the oat mixture on top of the berries and bake about 30 minutes or until the topping is lightly browned and the blueberries are hot and bubbly.
-
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
*No fresh blueberries? Frozen may be used instead – do not thaw before using.
Can I use all purpose Gluten free flour the you Blueberry Jammie recipe?
Absolutely, Anita!
I wanted to let you know that I made JAMMIES BLUEBERRY CRISP this morning with some girls that I do volunteer work with. We had a great time baking together. The recipe is so delish and I told the 6 year old about it last month when we visited. I asked her if she would like to bake something like that with me and she was so excited to do it. We shared a bowl of crisp this morning and she was excited to serve it to the rest of her family later today. Just wanted to let you know how your recipe made a girl’s day!
Your comment made my day, and I’m delighted this was a hit with the girls. How wonderful that you spend that quality time with them!
can I use my freshly frozen blueberries?
Absolutely, Bertie. You can use them straight from the freezer.
Oh mercy me this looks incredible! I need to get some fresh blueberries STAT! I wish we could have got some when we were in Michigan last week.
Do you think coconut oil would work in place of butter Ann? Just curious..
As often as I’ve baked with coconut oil, I have not used it in this recipe, Mary Lou. That said, I think it would be terrific. I love the combination of blueberries and coconut and might even play it up with some shredded coconut thrown into the mix. Enjoy!
It was delicious! I used a combo of gluten free flours which worked great. Also, no lemons down here in Costa Rica so used lime juice which also was fine.
Great feedback, Beth! Thanks so much for following up…I’m thrilled you enjoyed!
Can I use frozen berries?
Absolutely!
The BB with Strawberry Jammie was great! I also added shredded coconut and chopped almonds to the crumble. ‘Twas repeatable!
Yay!!
Do you think I could add some homemade strawberry jam to the blueberries, or would that make it too sweet?
I think that would be delightful, Bertie. Just start with a reasonable amount–maybe a quarter cup or so–and then taste. You could add an extra squeeze of lemon juice if you think it’s a bit too sweet, or add more jam if you really love it! I’d love to know what you think if you try!
This was one of the quickest home-baked desserts ever, simple ingredients and SO GOOD!!
Yay! I’m so happy this was a hit!
Last week, I had some blueberries that needed to be eaten – so I grabbed this recipe. Absolutely delicious! I like the idea of adding peach. Maybe next time, because there will be a next time.
Love it, Amie…thanks so much for your great comment!
Nos encanto….!!!!! We love it. The second time I put some fresh peach. Un abrazo desde Argentina, Gabby
Muchas gracias, Gabby! Un abrazo desde aquí!

Yay! So glad you love it, too! Thanks for the feedback!
Just pulled this out of the oven. Looks and smells delicious! Can’t wait to try it. Off to get the vanilla ice cream to top it off.
Oh, I can’t wait to hear what you think! Thanks for letting me know…it does smell heavenly, doesn’t it?!
Definitely need to make a double batch next time! Everyone loved it – and so simple to make.
Thank you for the feedback, Betsy! The ease factor is an added bonus and, if there is any left, it does reheat beautifully. (Although we usually don’t have any left either!)
Yum!
