A warm fruit crisp with mixed berries and a quinoa flake and almond topping. Berries are rich in resveratrol, which protects against AGEs (advanced glycation end products) implicated in aging and degenerative disease.

Ingredients

  • 3 lb mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries)
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1.75 cups quinoa flakes
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup sliced almonds, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 cup maple syrup
  • 0.75 cup (1.5 sticks) grass-fed unsalted butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut yogurt (optional)

Instructions

  2. For the berry filling: In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Transfer the mixture to a 12-inch ovenproof skillet.
