I got a little overly ambitious the other day and bought the biggest container of blueberries. Then they all starting to ‘turn’ as berries often do and I needed a way to eat them up. I’m sure I’ll have this same (wonderful!) problem in a few weeks once we hit the pick-your-own as bleubs come into season here in Ontario.

Anyways, since making the switch to paleo, I’ve missed the traditional desserts and sweet treats, but a crumble or a crisp is something I just can’t live without – so I set to making this beauty. And since I wanted it in a hurry, I cooked it in the microwave.

And since I know you really just want to get to the recipe, without any further ado, here it is!

1-minute paleo blueberry crisp (serves 2)

• 1 heaping cup of blueberries
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Split blueberries between two ramekins. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients. Divide to top both ramekins evenly. Place ramekins on a plate (in case of spillage) and microwave on high for 60 seconds. That’s it! C’est tout! All the noms… I’m hoping that once I’m back compliant on the AIP for a bit I can see if/how I tolerate gluten-free oats. It would be so nice to have them for these sorts of desserts. The almonds aren’t AIP but I was able to successfully reintroduce them so I’ll have some when the fancy strikes.
