Blueberry Betty

This blueberry betty is a great quick recipe and super tasty! I always pick way more berries than I need and freeze some for future use the blueberry freezes nicely as long as you don't have to much water in the bag make sure you let them dry a bit after washing them before placing in the freezer otherwise you have some nice blueberry flavored ice in your bag too! This particular betty was made with frozen berries.

Ingredients:
• 4 cups of blueberries
• 3 tbsp sugar (optional, use if you like a sweeter betty)
• 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup quick oats
• 1/4 cup vegan butter cold
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
berries and vanilla waiting for the topping

Directions:
Place berries and vanilla in a bowl and mix lightly set aside. Mix dry ingredients by hand until mixed throughly. Place maple syrup in and mix again then take small chunks of the vegan butter and fold in make sure its cold. this will give you lumps in your mixture which you want. Do not over mix, if you do so the butter will start to melt. You want a nice lumpy mixture here for sure
check out those lumps!
place berry mixture in a 8'' by 8'' or 9'' by 9'' and put topping over it poke some of the topping down with a fork for a more textured landscape! Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes or until golden brown on the top. Allow cooling time and serve warm or cold it is great either way!
ready for the oven!
