The evenings are getting shorting, there's a fresh nip in the air and we're more tempted than ever to turn the heating on, which can only mean one thing — winter is coming!
That's why this light but warming berry crumble is the absolute perfect dessert for these cold and dreary days! Bursting with flavour and fruity goodness, we're definitely saving this recipe to make this evening!
You'll need...
250g almond flour
150g rolled oats
70ml coconut oil
50ml maple syrup
50ml almond milk
½tsp vanilla essence
200g blackberries
50g desiccated coconut
1tsp cornstarch
2 pinches of sea salt
30ml honey
50ml water
2tsp brown sugar
Heat your oven to 200C
In a large bowl, mix in your almond flour and rolled oats.
Follow with coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk and vanilla essence. Stir until the mixture is crumbly.
Grease a baking tin and pour three quarters of your mixture into the tin and press down with your fingers to compress the base. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the base is golden brown.
Meanwhile, pour your blackberries into a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the desiccated coconut, cornstarch, sea salt, honey and water as needed to create your berry mixture.
Simmer and stir for 20 minutes, until the berries break down to form a thick consistency.
Remove your base from the oven and pour the berry mixture over it, followed by the last of the crumbly mixture. Sprinkle with brown sugar and bake for a further 10-15 minutes.
Serve with your favourite ice cream and enjoy!
