Berry Crumble

Berry Crumble

This is for you, Aaron.

Take 2 bowls. In bowl #1 you add the berries (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc)  and sprinkle some cornstarch, cinnamon and 1-2 T of sweetener (sugar, or brown sugar, or honey) and toss to coat the berries.

In bowl #2 take 1 to 1-1.2 cups of oats, some cinnamon, sugar (or brown sugar, preferably) maybe add 1 T of flour and 2 T of coconut oil (can substitute butter, but it's healthier and tastes lighter with the coconut oil) I may also be prone to adding some ground flax or wheatgerm to the crumble. stir together, then with your hands press the oil into the mix until it becomes crumbly.

Lightly grease your cooking dish (ramekin) with coconut oil and fill with the berry mix. Top with a Tablespoon or so of the crumble. Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.

I'll add a photo the next time I make this.

Disclaimer: I tend not to measure and have never written this recipe down before, so I hope it turns out well for you. You may want to double check the oven timing. You'll want the crumble to be golden, not burned. I tend to judge by when it is fragrant. I'm guessing it's about 20 minutes.
