Plum Strawberry 10 grain crumble

Ok, so I made this one up as I went along. Taking some tips from Scott Jureks new book Eat and Run I adapted a traditional crumble recipe to make it a bit healthier and a lot tastier.  I did not measure anything for my first try - so the recipe is somewhat guess work.  Experiment with ingredients and let me know how it goes! 




Fruit preparation
15 fresh plums (from our tree- slightly over ripened)- peeled and pitted- cut into bit size chunks
10 medium strawberries- cleaned and sliced
Lemon Juice - half a lemon's worth
Sweetner - honey, sugar, agave syrup, brown rice syrup- your choice- a little (table spoonish)

Crumble
7-10 grains ground (I used Bobs Red Mill 10 grain mix)- 8oz
Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon - melted
Vanilla - a dash or splash
Sweetner - honey, sugar, agave syrup or brown rice syrup- your choice-  a table spoon (add more if you like it sweeter).
Flax meal - 2 tablespoons
Chia seeds - 1 tablespoon.

Combine all the Fruit preparation ingrediants in a ceramic or glass baking dish.  Spread evenly.

Combine all the crumble ingredients in a seperate bowl- mix until crumbly in appearance and texture.  Sprinkle liberally over the fruit mixture.  Pat down to smooth out.  Sprinkle the Chia seeds on top.

Bake at 375 degrees for 40 mins.  Eat hot or cold. 

Hot right out of the oven is my preference!
