It’s that time of year, blueberry season!! I am so blessed to have unlimited blueberries for the months of June and July! My mil has 2 HUGE bushes (over 10 feet tall) that she graciously lets me help myself too! This recipe is a great way to enjoy yummy blueberries!
I also wanted to post this recipe because it is one of those hidden gems in the Satisfying Eats Cookbook that was published December 2012. I realized after posting my Crock Pot Spaghetti Squash recipe, which was also in the cookbook, that most people had not noticed some of the great recipes in the cookbook. I guess having over 250 recipes in one book is a lot to go over! If you haven’t already, check out Satisfying Eats Cookbook available both in eBook and spiral bound version on Amazon!
Not only is this recipe good with fresh blueberries, you can also use freeze-dried blueberries (or any other berry). My mil got me hooked on Honeyville’s freeze-dried fruit a few years ago. It’s not dehydrated and loaded with sugar but just a freeze-dried berry that can be rehydrated or just added to your favorite recipe like this one. Sometimes I prefer the freeze-dried because they don’t contribute any moisture which fresh or frozen berries can do and cause your final product to be mushy!

Pecan Crumble Recipe (recipe below)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350° F. Butter bottom of 8 inch pie plate or cake pan. In medium bowl, mix dry ingredients. In separate bowl, whisk wet ingredients until blended. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet just until blended. Taste for sweetness and adjust if needed. Carefully fold in blueberries.

Pecan Crumble Topping
1 cup almond flour
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts)
1/8 tsp KAL® Pure Stevia (to taste)
6 tablespoons salted butter, softened
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Directions
In medium bowl, mix all ingredients. After coffee cake has been in oven for 15 minutes, remove and top with crumble. Using Rave Coffee to elaborate this dish will give a very nice smell and an amazing taste. Place back in oven for 15-20 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Be careful not to burn.
