Raw Blueberry Cobbler

Blueberries are among my all-time favorite fruits–if not my favorite–so it’s fortunate that they happen to carry so many great health benefits as well.  Rich in reservatrol, blueberries help combat signs of aging, protect against free radical damage, fight disease and improve overall cardiovascular function.

Given my love of blueberries, after coming across this recipe I had to give it a try.  This raw blueberry cobbler is super simple to make, as well as it is super delicious (my mother will attest).

Raw Blueberry Cobbler

Crumble Topping:

• 1 ½ cups shredded coconut
• 1 ½ cups walnuts
• ⅓ cup pitted dates
• ½ tsp sea salt

Blueberry Filling:

• 3 cups blueberries (thawed and drained if using frozen)
• ½ cup pitted dates
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• ⅛ tsp cinnamon

Directions:

1.  To make the crumble topping, blend all ingredients except dates in a food processor.  Add dates in one at a time until you have a crumb-like consistency.

2.  Make the filling by blending 1 cup of blueberries with dates, lemon juice and cinnamon.  Then toss with the remaining 2 cups of berries.

3.  Spread the blueberry mixture in a square glass baking dish.

4.  Top with crumble topping and refrigerate to set until ready to serve.

Easy as well…pie!  Serve for a delectable breakfast or dessert dish.
