Tips

  • Make the crumble a day ahead and keep it in a jar. It stays crisp for a week.
  • Wild blueberries give a deeper purple and a stronger flavor.
  • Allulose keeps the tubpint softest. If it is not sold where you live, use sugar or another 1:1 granulated sweetener.

Why it works

Blended blueberries tint and flavor the base, and their natural pectin helps hold water. The butter-toasted crumble stays crisp because the fat coats it against moisture.
