Fruity Sweet Fruit Crisp

Recently, we’ve been getting a container of blueberries in our Ooooby box. I imagine the strawberry stands are popping up in the valley. While my Ooooby blueberries are eaten by themselves (the better to savor them), it got me thinking about berries!

Here’s an easy, healthy, yummy dessert to take advantage of those berries.



Topping:

• ½ cup mixed raw nuts, chopped (I use almonds, walnuts and pecans)
• ¼ cup mixed raw seeds (I use pumpkin, sunflower and hemp hearts)
• ½ cup rolled oats
• ¼ cup shredded dried coconut (unsweetened)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• Pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted & cooled slightly

Filling:

• 3 cups mixed berries, fresh or frozen (you can include peaches too)
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tsp arrowroot flour
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375° F and lightly grease a 10inch square glass baking dish with coconut oil. Set aside.
2. In medium bowl, combine all the crisp topping ingredients.
3. In large bowl, combine all filling ingredients until fruit is evenly coated with arrowroot flour
4. Fill baking dish with fruit and top evenly with topping.
5. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes until brown and bubbly. And if it's a special ocassion, go for that scoop of vanilla nice cream while it's still warm. Yummy, melty goodness!
