Ingredients

1 cup pecan halves

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup almond meal

½ cup unsweetened flaked coconut

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

⅓ cup olive oil

4 cups fresh blueberries

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Coarsely chop the pecan halves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped pecans, rolled oats, almond meal, flaked coconut, salt, and cinnamon. Stir well to distribute all ingredients evenly.

  3. Pour the olive oil into the dry mixture and stir thoroughly until the oat-pecan mixture is well coated and resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or 9x9-inch square baking dish with oil. Spread the fresh blueberries evenly across the bottom of the dish in a single layer.

  5. Spread the oat and pecan mixture evenly over the blueberries, pressing down gently so it adheres to the fruit.

  6. Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the topping turns golden brown and feels slightly firm to the touch. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Pecans and blueberries are both readily available at every Charlotte chain, and almond meal and coconut are staples at Harris Teeter, Kroger, and Walmart, so no special stops needed. The real cost driver is the pecans and almond meal together, which will run $4–5 for the topping alone, pushing the per-serving cost to around $2.50–3.00 including blueberries; the stated 45 minutes is honest if you're not hand-chopping the pecans, but expect closer to an hour if you are. This is a low-fuss dessert that reheats well and feeds a crowd, making it ideal for a weeknight or weekend family meal, and it plays well with North Carolina's blueberry season in early summer. The main caveat is the almond-meal expense if you're watching the budget closely.
