Ingredients

Units Scale

For the filling:

  • 4 cups of fresh or frozen mixed berries
  • 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons of cornstarch or arrowroot powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

For the Quinoa Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (chilled or room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup of rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup of almond flour
  • 1/4 cup of maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the fruits, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon juice, cornstarch (or arrowroot powder), and cinnamon until well combined. Transfer the fruit mixture to a baking dish.
  3. Combine the cooked quinoa, rolled oats, almond flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt in another mixing bowl. Mix well until it forms a crumbly consistency.
  4. Sprinkle the quinoa crumble topping in an even layer over the fruit mixture.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the fruit bubbles and the topping is golden brown.
  6. Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will give the fruit filling time to thicken even more.
  7. Serve warm, optionally, with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream or a dollop of coconut yogurt.
