Adding fresh herbs to desserts intensifies their summer flavors. Blueberries and lemon thyme are a delicious duo in this yummy berry crisp. Classic crisps and crumbles derive most of their fat from the butter in the topping. The following low-fat rendition cuts the butter without taking away from the sweet topping crunch.

Ingredients

4 cups fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons lemon thyme leaves
1/4 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3/4 cup oats (uncooked)
1/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold butter, cut into smally pieces

Directions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Place blueberries, thyme, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice in a large bowl, tossing well to combine. Pour into an 8-inch square baking dish.
In a small bowl, whisk together oats, flour, brown sugar and salt. Add butter and use your fingers to rub butter into the oat mixture until it forms a coarse meal. Sprinkle oat mixture over blueberries.
Bake for 45 minutes or until topping is lightly browned and blueberries are hot and bubbling. Serve with a low-fat ice cream or Greek yogurt.
