Ingredients
Crumble Topping:
150 grams all purpose flour (1 1/8 cup)
100 grams oats* (1 cup)
100 grams light brown sugar (1/2 cup, packed)
50 grams chopped pecans (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
90 grams coconut oil (1/2 cup)
Fruit Mixture:
1 kilogram fresh or frozen mixed berries (about 8 cups)
60 grams granulated sugar (1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons cornflour
1 tablespoon fresh grated ginger
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F / 175° C. Lightly oil a 2.5-3-quart / 3-litre casserole dish and set aside until ready to use.
In a large bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, pecans, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in coconut oil, a few spoonfuls at a time, until evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, combine berries, sugar, cornflour, ginger, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then pour into prepared casserole dish.
Top fruit with prepared crumble topping, distributing the dry mixture evenly over the berries.
Bake, uncovered, in preheated oven until bubbly and golden brown, about 30-40 minutes.
Transfer casserole dish to a wire rack and allow to cool for a few minutes prior to serving. Delicious warm or at room temperature!
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days. If desired, crumble can be be rewarmed in the oven or microwave.
Notes
*Be sure to use rolled or old fashioned oats in this recipe, rather than the “quick” or “instant” variety.
This crumble is dairy free and vegan. To make gluten free, simply substitute a gluten free flour blend (I like King Arthur’s Measure for Measure Flour).
This recipe calls for cornflour. In some countries, this product is referred to as cornstarch instead. When shopping, make sure you’re buying something that looks like a fine white powder, not the coarse, golden meal used for making cornbread!
