Blueberry Crisp 🫐 is my all time favorite vegan dessert, it’s a family classic. I’ve been making versions of this dessert for years because it’s very forgiving - you can use almost any fruit combination you like. (Think, peaches, plums, cranberries, pears). I’ve converted my vegetarian recipe to make it suitable for vegans, and I’m very pleased with the result. 

Non-vegans seem to love this dessert as much as vegans do, it’s a people-pleaser. Also, this is a fabulous dessert for the Christmas table because it’s fool-proof, tastes magnificent and looks festive. 

This recipe comes together in no time at all, there’s not much to it other than combining a few choice ingredients. ( you can even get the kids involved in making this, it’s “that” easy). 

Make this dessert when you feel that your family deserves something special. I guarantee that they’ll polish it off in no time and give you a great big hug (they’ll nag you to make this over and over again, promise 🙃)
