Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds blueberries (about 6 cups or 3 pints), fresh or frozen
- ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch or cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 ½ cups (225 grams) blanched almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- zest from 1 large lemon (around 1 tablespoon)
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, just melted
- 2 tablespoons plain whole-milk greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon turbinado sugar (raw sugar) for sprinkling on top (optional)
- vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse and drain the blueberries, removing any stems. In a 9-inch square baking dish, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, starch, lemon juice, and cinnamon, stirring until mixed. Bake for about 25 minutes, until bubbling around the edges.
- For the topping, mix the almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar and lemon zest, rubbing them together for more flavor. Add this mix to the dry ingredients and whisk.
- In the smaller bowl, whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, and egg until combined. Pour this into the dry ingredients, stirring until a cohesive dough forms.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the topping over the hot blueberry filling, using a spoon to help transfer. Sprinkle the turbinado sugar evenly over the dough.
- Bake for 16 to 20 minutes until the filling is bubbling and the top is lightly golden. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes before serving, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
