Isn't berry season the best season ever?!

Some of nature's best candy, in my opinion.

I've noticed that every year for the past 3 years, this is the first dessert I make with berries when they come around. It's just too good and simple not to.

Goes extra well with some creamy coconut ice cream.

Indulge without guilt with this gluten-free and refined sugar-free dessert.

Ingredients

Berry Layer:

3 1/2 cups mixed berries (raspberries, blackberries, blueberries)

1 Tablespoon coconut sugar

Crumble Layer:

2 cups gluten-free rolled oats

1/2 cup brown rice flour

1/4 cup coconut sugar

2 teaspoons goji extract powder

1 teaspoon lucuma

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon cardamom

1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean or vanilla extract

Pinch of sea salt

3/4 cup ghee/clarified butter, diced

Procedure

Preheat oven to 350 F.
To make berry layer: Toss berries with coconut sugar in a medium-size bowl and place in your baking dish.
To make crumble: Place all ingredients, except ghee, in a large bowl and combine well. Add ghee and press down with fork or pastry cutter to cut ghee into smaller pieces and blend into the mixture.
Spread out crumble evenly over berries.
Bake for 30-40 minutes, until berries are soft and crumble is browned (not burnt).
