Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 40-50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups blueberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • nutmeg
  • cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup oats

Instructions:

  1. Preheat over to 350°.
  2. Add 2 cups of blueberries in a casserole dish.
  3. Mix together 1/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, and nutmeg.
  4. Sprinkle mixture on the blueberries in the casserole dish.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix and cream together 1/4 cup of butter, 1/4 c of brown sugar. Add and fold in 1/2 cup of oats.
  6. Put on top of mixture in the casserole dish by spoonfuls.
  7. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes.

Tip from Nana: Try less time! Check at 30 minutes to see if it’s ready. A similar apple cobbler recipe she found says 30 minutes.

Note: Based on the size of the casserole I used (9×9-2 inches deep), I tripled the butter, brown sugar, and oats because it didn’t quite cover the blueberries and didn’t seem as though it was going to be a thick enough crust. The original recipe called for ¼ cup butter, ¼ cup brown sugar, and ½ cup of oats. Ingredients in this recipe have been modified based on my experience.

Note: I added cinnamon, because everything tastes better (especially cobbler) with a little bit of cinnamon.
