Wild Berry Crumble

Post: # 68164Post Trinity »

After a beautiful summers day it I find it so satifying to forage for wild berries and finish the day off with a wild berry crumble (there are bushes full of blackberries in the surrounding countryside here right now, last week we had wild raspberries). Here's a totally healthy recipe that we came up with. Goes down a treat!

Ingredients:

Wild edible berries (i.e. blackberries)
1 apple

Topping ingredients:

1 cup of oatmeal
1 cup of sunflower seeds (roughly ground, although whole is fine if you don't have a grinder)
1 table spoon of agave syrup (maple syrup, date syrup or honey work just as well)
2 table spoons of coconut oil (almond oil, olive oil etc work fine, although coconut oil seems to give it a "je ne sais quoi")
A capful of almond essence



Thoroughly mix topping ingredients together to form a moist yet crumbly consistency.

Find an oven dish about 20 cm in diameter and fill it with about and inch of blackberries (more or less)

Thinly slice an apple and and form a layer over the blackberries.

Add topping and gently press down.

Bake in a hot preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes (I use gas mark 7) or until the topping starts to pleasantly tan.

A delicious variation of the recipe above is to use ground almonds instead of sunflower seeds
