Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix blueberries, cornstarch, and sugar in a baking dish for the bottom layer.
- Combine remaining sugar, flour, and walnuts to make the topping.
- Spread the topping evenly over the blueberry mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 400°F until golden and bubbly.
Tips & Substitutions
For a thicker filling, consider adding an extra tablespoon of cornstarch. If you're out of walnuts, pecans or almonds can be used as substitutes for a different flavor profile. For a bit of spice, a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the topping. Make sure to wash the blueberries thoroughly to remove any residual pesticides or dirt.
Serving Suggestions
This Blueberry Victory pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a refreshing beverage, serve it alongside a glass of Big Affair Punch. It can also be enjoyed as a breakfast treat or brunch dessert, making it versatile for any occasion.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, cover the dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 15 minutes until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the topping soggy and lose its crispiness.
