Description

Say yes to juicy berries and buttery crumble.


Ingredients

For the base and topping – 

For the filling – 

  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) water
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon (7 g) flax meal or chia meal
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar, to taste

For the topping –


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F (175 C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and coconut sugar with the melted ghee and vanilla extract.  Mix well to form a crumbly mixture.
  3. Reserve 1/4 of the crumble mixture and press the rest into the bottom of an 8-by-8 inch baking pan. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
  4. While the base is baking, heat up a small saucepan and add in the blueberries, water, lemon juice and vanilla extract.  Simmer until the blueberries are soft and carefully burst them.  Stir in the flax meal as well as the coconut sugar.  Add more or less coconut sugar, to taste.
  5. Let the base cool and then pour the filling on top.  Spread to form a very thin layer.
  6. Add the shredded coconut and sliced almonds to the reserved base ingredients.  Sprinkle on top of the blueberries filling and press down gently.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes more.  Let cool and slice into bars or squares.
