Serves: 5
Ingredients
For The Crumble:
  • ⅓ Cup toasted buckwheat groats
  • ¾ Cup almond meal
  • ¼ Cup quinoa flakes (or millet flakes with varied results)
  • ¼ Cup gluten free oats
  • ½ Teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon maple syrup (or other liquid sweetener)
  • 2 Tablespoons Ghee (or butter)
For The Fruit Filling:
  • 3 cups berries or any fruits of your liking (fresh or frozen)
  • 1½ Teaspoon lemon
  • ½ Teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ Teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1 Teaspoon maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375F bake.
  2. Rinse groats and toast on a skillet until they turn slightly brown (5-10 minutes).
  3. Combine the dry crumble ingredients and mix well.
  4. Add maple syrup and ghee and mix using you a fork to cut the solid ghee (or butter) into the crumble.
  5. Once the bits of ghee are quite small, use your hands to mix. The resulting mixture should clump in your hands when you make a fist. Add more ghee if necessary.
  6. Chop your fruit into bite-sized pieces (I used sour cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, and plums). You can use whatever you have in your fridge or freezer.
  7. Add your chopped fruit and the remaining filling ingredients to a loaf pan or any pan you have around that is of similar size. A cake or brownie pan will work (although your crumble layer will be thinner than mine).
  8. Mix the filling ingredients with your hands.
  9. Now add the crumble layer to the top. Press down a bit so a little of the fruit peeks out over the crumble.
  10. Place in oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the fruit juices are bubbling out over the crumble. For an extra crispy top, turn your oven to convection bake for the last 5 - 10 minutes. Keep a close eye and watch that the crumble does not burn on top.
  11. Serve with greek yogurt, ice cream, or eat it just as is. If you are feeling fancy you can stir a little vanilla into your yogurt for an extra pop of flavor.
