Background

I always keep a bag of mixed berries in the freezer as they're really useful for making easy desserts and healthy treats. This mixed berry oat crumble is yummy and super-easy to make - also it's healthier than most of the crumble recipes out there!

Ingredients

500g frozen mixed berries (summer or forest fruits)
100g healthy flour (see Tips )
50g rolled oats
50g fructose or unrefined cane sugar
1 tsp mixed spice
100g diced butter or dairy-free margarine
50g hazelnuts, chopped

Instructions

Put the fruit into a greased, oven-proof dish. Sprinkle with some sugar.
Mix the remaining sugar with the flour, mixed spice and oatmeal.
Add the butter and rub everything together with your fingers into a crumble.
Add the chopped hazelnuts, mix well.
Cover the berries with the crumble, slightly pressing down.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden
Serve warm with custard, vanilla ice-cream or Greek yoghurt.

Tips

You can use wholemeal wheat, spelt, rye, buckwheat, brown rice flour or any gluten-free mixtures. If you like your crumble to be thick - double the amount of oats. Hazelnuts can be substituted with almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts, seeds etc.
