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.
Also, I was lucky to have tried some scrumptious savory-sweet pasta options like this Strawberry Basil Ricotta Pasta.
I did enjoy a lot of crostini and bruschetta, and trust me, I have shown only a little part of it like this fancy Blackberry Lavender Goat Cheese Crostini.
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 fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh or freshly dried (soft and nice) lavender
- 4 tablespoons butter + 1/2 tablespoon for greasing
- 3 tablespoons golden sugar + 1 for the blueberries (optional)
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour or a little more as required (Can substitute 1/3 cup steel-cut oats for 1/3 cup flour)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees C.(340 degrees F). Grease a 6 inch (or a little larger) baking dish with 1/2 tablespoon butter.
- On a cutting board, chop the butter with a knife then add the sugar, 1/2 tablespoon of 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 buttery/wet to your taste, add a little more flour or oats.
- Mix the blueberries with the remaining lavender and if desired, with 1 tablespoon of sugar and place in the dish. Scatter the crumbs over the blueberries and place in the oven for about 30-35 minutes or until lightly golden and crispy.
- Remove and let cool a little before serving.
- Enjoy!

Lavender is back! I love a crumble and with the wonderful blueberry instead of the typical apple – refreshing. I’ll take double scoop and a bit of whipped cream please.

Yay for those official summer days which are making us feel summery! :) Yes, the baking season has started for me. Or should I say that baking is so much fun so I can bake any day ;) But blueberry and lavender crumble is something which I haven’t heard about, maybe because you didn’t post it earlier. But now I know about this beautiful looking droolicious bake, I must say it would be a divine combo. This looks fabulous, can’t wait to try! :)

I love baking all year round, but I do agree that turning on the oven in the summer is not ideal. We’ve started picking apples here in our area…which means apple pies, crisps, etc are just around the corner! :-) But sadly I’m all out of lavender. I guess I’ll just have to make my pies without lavender this year. Although I must admit, this blueberry lavender combo sounds amazing!
