Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 package Emmy’s Organic Cookies (or add an addition 1/2 cup of oats, almond, or coconut flour)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/3 cup cashew butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1 tsp baking powder

For the berry filling:

• 1 package frozen mixed berries
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tbsp maple syrup
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
  
  

Instructions:

1. Combine all the berry filling ingredients, excluding the chia seeds, into a sauce pan over medium-high heat. Mash with a fork or potato masher. Once most of the berries have mashed, remove from heat and stir in the chia seeds. Set aside to thicken.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Pulse the Emmy's cookies in a food processor until it resembles a crumbly mixture.
4. In a large bowl, combine all other crust ingredients with a fork. Add in the Emmy's mixture.
5. Press 1/2-2/3 of the mixture into the bottom of an 8x8 baking dish (how much you use will decide how much crumble you have on top).
6. Bake the crust for about 15 minutes or until it is a light golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven & pour the berry mixture over.
8. Top with the remaining crumble and place back in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crumble has turned gold.
9. Remove from the oven, let cool, and enjoy! These are amazing topped with nice cream!
