Optional Add-ins to Crumble Topping Before Pulsing
2tablespoonschopped nuts(I did half cashews/half pecans)
1tablespoonchia or flax seeds
1tablespoonhemp seeds or coconut shreds
1teaspoonlemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.
For the berry layer
In a large bowl, combine: 4 cups mixed berries, 2 tablespoon maple syrup, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir together. Then add 1 tablespoon cornstarch, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Stir together again.
For the crumble layer
To a food processor add: 1 cup rolled oats, ⅓ cup nut butter, 3 tablespoon maple syrup, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Pulse the mixture 6–10 short pulses until it becomes crumbly and forms soft clumps when squeezed.
You’re looking for a texture like: coarse crumbs with some larger pieces — not powder. If the mixture looks too dry or sandy, add: 1 tablespoon maple syrup or nut butter. Then pulse once or twice more. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the berry mixture. Don't press it down.
Transfer the berry mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread into an even layer.
Bake at 375°F for 35–40 minutes, until the berries are bubbling and the topping looks lightly golden. Allow the crumble to rest for 10 minutes before serving so the filling can thicken.
