Mixed Berry Crumble in a Jar
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 C old-fashioned oats (gluten-free friends, use gluten-free oats)
- 1/2 C almond meal
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar or Sucanat
- 2 tablespoons butter (or vegan butter substitute), cold and chopped into small pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen berries
- 1 t sugar (can use a small amount Stevia or Xylitol instead)
- juice of half a lemon + 1/2 t lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 and spray two mason jars with nonstick spray. (I used the pint-sized jars, but if you use larger or small, adjust the recipe accordingly. This is one of those beautiful things where you don’t have to be super precisel; you can easily use ratios you prefer.)
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, almond meal, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt. Using a fork, smash in the butter until the butter is crumbled into the mixture. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the berries, sugar, lemon juice and zest.
- Layer 1/4 of the berry mixture into each jar, top with 1/4 of the crumble mixture. Add the rest of the berry mixture to each jar and top with the remaining crumble.
- (I can’t wait to try this with the Very Cherry Berry Blend from Trader Joe’s. We had frozen strawberries on hand, and they were rather lovely, but the pieces were large)
- Bake at 350 for 35 minutes, until browned, bubbly and glorious.
- Enjoy as is, or top with a scoop of ice cream and a sprig of fresh mint!
