A quick and easy dessert combining juicy nectarines and tart blueberries with a crispy, buttery oat topping. Perfect for summer or any time you want a comforting, homemade treat without fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 medium ripe nectarines, pitted and sliced
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (or arrowroot powder)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • 3/4 cup (90g) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup (40g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1/3 cup (70g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, cold and diced (can use coconut oil for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, gently toss the sliced nectarines and blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon. Avoid mashing the fruit.
  3. Transfer the fruit mixture into your baking dish and spread evenly.
  4. In another bowl, combine oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Cut the cold butter into the oat mixture using a pastry cutter, fork, or fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs with some butter chunks.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the oat topping over the fruit filling.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbling. If topping browns too fast, cover loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly for 10-15 minutes to thicken the filling.
  9. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

If nectarines are very juicy, add an extra teaspoon of cornstarch to prevent soggy bottom. Use cold butter for a crisp topping. Tent foil if topping browns too quickly. Lemon juice brightens flavors. For gluten-free, substitute flour with almond or gluten-free flour and use certified gluten-free oats. For dairy-free, use coconut oil instead of butter.
