Ingredients Needed:
Streusel Topping:
- 6 Tbsp Melted Tallow
- 1¼ c All-Purpose Flour
- ½ c Old-Fashioned Oats
- ¼ c Granulated Sugar
- ½ c Light Brown Sugar, packed
- 2 Tbsp Bearded Butcher Cinnamon Swirl
- ⅛ tsp Salt

- 2 Tbsp Corn Starch
- 2 Tbsp Butter

- 2 Tbsp Bearded Butcher Cinnamon Swirl
- ½ c Granulated Sugar
Blueberry Crisp Grilling Instructions:
Start by preheating your grill to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Prepare the Streusel Topping
Now, it's time to make the streusel topping. In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and The Bearded Butcher Cinnamon Swirl. Give this a good mix. Meanwhile, melt the tallow. Pour about 4 tablespoons of the melted tallow into the dry mixture. Using your hands, gently rub the mixture between your fingers it will feel dry and sandy. Continue mixing in the remaining tallow slowly until the texture is dry and crumbly, but still moist enough to stick together when squeezed in your palm.
Create the Blueberry Filling
Next, let's get started on the blueberry filling. This filling is incredibly simple and comes together in minutes. The best way to create a truly delicious dessert is by starting with local, fresh fruit. This summer, head to your local farmers market and grab some fresh berries for this recipe—it will be worth it!
In a large bowl, combine 5 cups of blueberries, cornstarch, the juice of half a lemon, granulated sugar, and The Bearded Butcher Cinnamon Swirl Blend. Give the filling a good mix, then transfer it into an 8-10 inch skillet. For an added touch of richness, place thin pads of butter on top of the filling before adding the streusel; these will melt throughout the berries as it cooks. Finally, spread a generous amount of the streusel atop the filling.
Grill The Crisp
Place the Blueberry Crisp into the preheated grill for about 30 minutes. Check it halfway through the cooking time. The crisp is done when the berries have thickened and the topping is a beautiful golden brown.
This Blueberry Crisp with Oat Streusel Topping is a delightful treat that perfectly captures the essence of the season. With The Bearded Butcher Cinnamon Swirl infusing every bite with its sweet and warmly spiced flavor, it beautifully complements the sweet, ripe blueberries and the crisp, streusel. In just 40 minutes, you can have a warm, bubbly dessert ready to impress, especially when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy a taste of summer sweetness!
