So few ingredients, so little effort and time, and it tastes sooooo good! Why not make this berry crumble for your sweetie this weekend? Berries are full of heart-healthy and cancer preventing antioxidants from pigments known as anthocyanins, and they are lower in sugar than most other fruits, while being high in fiber. For a double boost of heart healthy ingredients, I topped it with crunchy ground almonds, which contribute vitamin E, and unsaturated fats, in addition to their great flavor.
This recipe calls for almond meal, which you can easily make on your own if you have a blender. Just grind plain almonds in a food processor or blender until they become coarse crumbs. (Don’t take it too far or you’ll have almond butter!) Store the extra almond meal in the freezer, you can use it in a lot of ways! Tomorrow I’ll post another great recipe using almond meal to make a crispy crust on fish – no breadcrumbs needed!
Mixed Berry Crumble
- 2 cup frozen mixed berries
- 2 tablespoons Splenda granulated or sugar (or 3 packets of Splenda, Truvia, or Equal)
- 2 tablespoons almond meal
- Place frozen berries in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 90 seconds.
- Pour off liquid, and stir in Splenda.
- Microwave for an additional 90 seconds, and divide the berries between 2 ramekins or small dishes.
- Top each crumble with 1 tablespoon almond meal and serve warm.
