Fruit Crisp Crumble {oil-free, vegan + gluten-free}

Rhubarb and Mango Fruit Crisp

Fruit Crisp Crumble {oil-free, vegan + gluten-free}

Seasonal fruit or frozen, this easy crisp is a go-to for a delicious breakfast or dessert after a veggie bean soup or other light meal. If you're using a tart fruit like rhubarb, consider pairing it with a sweeter fruit like mango or even dates or other dried fruit. No need for oil - there is plenty of natural fat in the nut or seed butter.

Ingredients:

BOTTOM FRUIT LAYER:
8 cups chopped juicy fruit or berries (for example: mango, peaches, plums, berries, rhubarb, etc)
¼ cup dates, raisins, or other dried fruit (opt)
2 tsp ground cinnamom
3 Tbsp maple syrup or dark agave or brown rice syrup
¼ cup water or fruit juice (a bit more for berries or other less juicy fruit)
CRUMBLE TOPPING:
1¼ rolled oats (gluten-free tested, if needed)
¼ cup whole-grain flour (find gluten-free flour here)
1 cup sliced almonds or chopped Brazil nuts or pumpkin seeds
½ cup liquid or dry whole sweetener (coconut sugar for example)
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
⅓ cup - ½ cup nut or seed-butter (cashew, almond, tahini, etc)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F.
Prepare chopped fruit into a 10"x10" glass pan, or ceramic deep dish (or equivalent).
Sprinkle fruit with cinnamon, drizzle with liquid sweetener and water or juice.
Mix topping ingredients in a bowl incorporating the nut or seed butter into the dry ingredients with clean hands. Crumble the topping over the fruit, distributing evenly.
Bake at 400F for about 30 minutes until fruit is soft and juicy. Serve warm or at room temperature, as is, or with yogurt or kefir topping. Or, of course - ice cream!
