Blueberry Lavender Crumble

There are just a few official summer days left, so I am suggesting to celebrate this with this luscious Blueberry Lavender Crumble.

This recipe was originally published in September 2016. I have taken anduploaded new photos while the recipe and blogpost itself remain unchanged. 

Indeed, are you done with summer food? Have you already started baking apple pies? Is your kitchen full of these cosy fall flavors like cinnamon, apples, pears, pumpkins, and lavender? Well, lavender is the all seasonal produce, right?:)

Yeeees, I am quite ready, and I look forward to my autumn kitchen adventures. I haven’t jumped into it yet because I still have a few lovely summer recipes to share, but I am keeping a list where I add some fall ideas I’d like to try. Unfortunately, I need to pick them very carefully – we don’t have much time with the Christmas theme coming at the end of November.

But I’m highly pleased with all the food I’ve made, shared, and importantly, eaten during this summer.

I’ve made a plenty of delicious salads like this Quinoa Peach Lavender Salad.

I’ve introduced halva to some of your, and in at the same time chilled out with this Halva Iced Coffee.

And sure I’ve enjoyed ice cream such as this sumptuous Dulce De Leche Bailey’s Ice Cream.

But you know what? I’ve turned my oven on only a couple of times this summer – it was way too hot!

Although I was planning on baking a few fruit galettes and pies, I ended up making only this Blueberry Lavender Crumble. But I don’t mind. Luscious and berrylicious, this Blueberry Lavender Crumble is an epitome of a simple yet aromatic and delightful summer dessert. Besides, I consider crumbles to be a better option among the baked desserts because of not using a lot of refined sugars, flour, and butter.

Have you baked many delicious pies this summer? Are you excited about fall cooking?

Ingredients

• 2 cups (380 g) fresh blueberries

• 1/2 to 1 tbsp. fresh lavender buds – or 1/4 to 1/2 tbsp. dried lavender buds, rubbed or minced, divided

• 3/4 cup (95 g.) all-purpose flour

• 6 tbsp. (85 g) cold butter plus 1 tbsp. (15 g) more, for greasing

• 3 tbsp. (35-40 g.) light-brown sugar plus 1 tbsp. (12.5 g.) for the blueberries

Directions

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees C (350 degrees F). Grease a 6 inch (or a little larger) baking dish with 1 tablespoon butter.
• On a cutting board, chop the butter with a knife then add the sugar, 1/2 of the minced or rubbed lavender, and flour and stir with your fingers until the mixture remains crumbs. If it’s too dry, add a tablespoon butter more. If it’s a little too sticky, add a little more flour.
• In a separate bowl, mix the blueberries with the remaining lavender and with 1 tablespoon of sugar and place in the greased dish. Evenly scatter the crumbs over the blueberries. Place the dish in the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden and crispy.
• Remove and let cool a little before serving. Enjoy!
