Juicy ripe burst berries covered with a layer of crunchy toasted millet and golden flaky oats; Blackberry Crumble.
Mash your tongue around something warm and crunchy.
Make this:
- When you’ve got the in laws over for dinner and need to impress them with something warm and hearty
- When you’ve got your nephews/nieces over for the day and want to show them the huge love you have for them
- When you’re at your self-catering weekend getaway and the ambience of that country stroll to linger
This recipe was inspired by foraging punnets of blackberries in the Cornish countryside.
This Blackberry Crumble has a hint of lime and a pinch of salt to lift it to ever dizzier heights.
This Crumble is vegan and gluten-free.
