Preheat the oven to 375F.
Coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, add chia seeds and water. Set aside and let side while you prepare the blueberries.
In a medium size bowl, combine the blueberries, maple syrup, lemon juice and vanilla. Toss well.
Add the chia seeds and toss again, so they coat the blueberries. The lemon juice should help the chia seeds evenly coat the berries. With a spatula, transfer into the pie dish.
To prepare the topping, combine all the ingredients, except Miyoko's butter (or coconut oil), in a medium bowl and mix well.
Melt the butter or coconut oil and and stir into the dry mixture until it fully coats the dry ingredients.
Sprinkle the topping on top of the blueberries.
Bake for 40 minutes.
Enjoy!
