This is a great example of how you can add more matcha (a powdered green tea) to your dishes — a teaspoon is sprinkled into the crisp topping of this berry-based dessert.
Gluten-free and vegan, Blueberry Crisp is a simple, tasty, and crowd-pleasing dessert, ideal for making on a cool autumn night.
Note: You can also use frozen organic blueberries previously thawed out as well as any other fresh fruit of your choice.
