Vegan Gluten Free Blueberry Crisp (V+GF): an easy recipe for delightfully sweet ‘n crisp topping & warm, gooey blueberry filling to make for the perfect healthy summer dessert! Vegan, Gluten-Free, Paleo option, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free.
When I think of summer, I usually think of lazy days, laying in a hammock, melting scoops of ice cream on a waffle cone, picnics, barbecues, and sleeping in late.
But mostly I think about the vegan ice cream.
When I was a little kid, that was the whole point of summer—the heat, the long days, the dryness of it all—it was all worth it because of the ice cream. As you can probably tell, I haven’t changed too much in my summer perspective… but a few of you have convinced me there is more to summer than just frozen desserts…
Because there are easy and refreshingly fruity summer baked desserts! This summer, I’m making a little bit more of an effort to share these baked delights. Let me know what you think. Of course, of course, I’m gonna be sharing ALL the ice cream and then some (I’m still the same person!!), but we’ll dabble, together, in these oven-baked treats.
Psst… if you’ve been waiting all year for ice cream, have you tried these BB newbies and old faves yet? –>

I know you’ll just love how simple this easy blueberry crisp is to throw together. Just wash and pat dry your blueberries and toss into a bowl. Add the coconut sugar, maple syrup, almond flour and a few spices to, ya know, spice it up. 😉 Toss until combined and pour into your baking pan.
Next, grab a small bowl and using a fork, simply fold all of the topping deliciousness together. Spoon that topping over the blueberries and bake!
That literally all took about 5-7 minutes to prep. Easy, simple and absolutely delicious, just like I promised you. Girl’s got ya back! 😉

Vegan Gluten Free Blueberry Crisp (Paleo option, GF, V, Dairy-Free, Refined Sugar-Free)
Ingredients
Filling
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon blanched almond flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons water, optional
Topping
- ¾ cup pecans, chopped
- ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
- ¼ cup blanched almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- For a PALEO topping, make the topping in this recipe.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add all Filling ingredients except water: blueberries, coconut sugar, maple syrup, almond flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until blueberries are fully coated and sugar has dissolved. If your mixture isn’t very wet, add in water—you’ll want to see 1-2 tablespoons liquid at the bottom of your mixing bowl. I used 1 ½ tablespoons water in mine.
- Pour this mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use the spatula to smooth blueberries into an even layer. Set aside.
- Add all Topping ingredients to a medium bowl. Using a fork, stir and fold until crumbles form. Gently spoon evenly over blueberries, making sure to keep crumbles intact.
- Bake for 40-60 minutes. Mine took 45 minutes. It’s done when the top is a golden brown and the juice around the filling starts bubbling up over the sides.
- Allow to cool for 10-15 mins. Serve warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream on top. Enjoy! Storing instructions below. Adapted from my Paleo Apple Pecan Coconut Crisp Try these mouthwatering Paleo Desserts: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Coconut Vegan Ice Cream, Ultimate Fudgy Paleo Vegan Brownies.

Do you think frozen blueberries would work just as well?
Hi Cathy! Frozen should be fine, but the extra moisture might make the crisp a little juicer than normal, so keep that in mind. Let me know how it turns out!
Is this recipe also Soy Free?
Hi Brenda! Yep, it is. Happy baking!
Love it! This crisp a bit of ice cream is one of my favorite treats ever, so I totally approve! 😋
Yummmm….served with with vanilla “nice” cream made out out frozen bananas.
Next time I’m going to add a little salt and more coconut sugar.
Love it! This crisp a bit of ice cream is one of my favorite treats ever, so I totally approve! 😋
I think I can stop looking around for a “go to” crisp recipe. This recipe is a keeper and is delicious right out of the oven as well as warmed up the next day. I only had 3/4c pecans on hand so added some unsweetened shredded coconut with the oats. Served it with dairy free vanilla ice cream.
That’s so wonderful to hear, Bri! I know, is there anything better than a fresh baked crisp? 🤤 So glad the coconut swap worked for you, too!
I should add the 5 star rating!
Thanks, Bri! 🙂
Do you have the nutrition information on this recipe? Thanks! It’s in the oven now!
Hi Joy! I’m in the process of adding nutrition info to my older recipes, so I’ll be sure to add this to the list. 🙂
Hi Demeter, I can’t wait to try this recipe soon and was wondering what other nuts would you suggest apart from pecans? I was thinking perhaps slivered almonds, chopped macadamias.? Or even a combination of the three? I was also thinking when it came time to reheating, the leftover portion can be placed in the oven and therefore the topping would be revived, possibly back to its original texture. Looking forward to hearing from you. 😊
Hi Nancy! 🙂 Hmm… I love the idea of slivered almonds, but they do tend to absorb moisture very quickly and soften soon thereafter. I suppose the same could be said of other nuts. If you’re okay with the nuts softening, go ahead and try your favorite combo of nuts. For oven reheating: the tops of the nuts may crisp up, while the bottoms of them will be a bit soggy. Hope this helps! ☺️
would 4 cups of peaches work in this?
I’ve had a few readers use peaches with food results. Let me know how it goes!
It was wonderful. I love the ingredient list and how easy it was to put together. I didn’t have the pecans so my topping was scant but if that happens in the future I think I will just try doubling the other ingredients. Thanks so much for sharing.
Oh I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe Mary! .
Monster hit!!! I added fresh strawberries and blackberries with a small chiffon of basil. I served with a vegan ice cream. It was such a treat! I was in such a time crunch but it came up perfect.
Oh I’m so glad that it went over well! Love the addition of strawberries! .
