Repeating myself here for probably like a thousand time, but I love easy and quick to make recipes! :D I mean, yes, I do also make a lot of recipes that take a long time to make, even hours and I do also enjoy making those. But hey, who has time for that kind of recipes every day? I know I don't :D So that is why I love easy and quick to make recipes, because they are the recipe I tend to make on a weekly basis and that go into my weekly rotations. And recipes like this blueberry crumble I am sharing with you today is just like that :)
​
About a half a year ago I started paying more attention to what I eat and that has also strongly affected my cravings for sweets. I just don't seem to have any anymore. Which is great, I think. However, I still occasionally like to have a dessert and this blueberry crumble has just been a hit for me. It is super fruity and not overly sweet. So I think it is one of those lighter desserts. I love the crunch on top with the almonds and the hint of lemon in the filling. Also you have a choice of enjoying it plain, drizzle over some homemade vanilla sauce, add a ball or two of vanilla ice cream or some plain yoghurt on top. Any way you choose, it is so yum! :)
​
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did :)

Stay warm and healthy, Lovelies!
