The name might not be catchy as catchy as Blueberry Boy Bait, but Loaf Pan Blueberry Crisp is another great small batch dessert. It's perfect for days when you don't feel like (or don't have time for) making blueberry pie, and it only calls for a pint of blueberries.
I like how it looks in a glass loaf pan, so that's what I use, but a metal loaf pan would work just as well. The recipe gives you anywhere from two generous servings to four small servings and can be made from start to finish in under an hour.
I usually assemble it while I'm making dinner, then throw it in the oven about an hour before dessert time.
As far as tips and hints go, this one is pretty straightforward. If you have any tips for jazzing it up, please send them along!
Blueberry Crisp for Two
If you are short on blueberries or just don't want Loaf Pan Blueberry Crisp, you can halve the recipe and make Blueberry Crisp for Two in a 6 inch mini pie plate. The bake time stays about the same. If you have to leave the lemon out for some reason, you can.

This was delicious! I added a few toasted walnuts chopped small to the topping for a bit of crunch.
