Ingredients for Blackberry Crumble
What's the difference between a crumble and a cobbler? While both are baked fruit desserts, cobblers are topped with biscuits. Crumbles are topped with a streusel-like mixture. You can make crumble toppings with or without oats.
For this blackberry crumble with oats, we use cassava flour in place of all-purpose flour to bind our crumble. Here are the major ingredients you will need:
- Fresh blackberries
- Maple syrup
- Gluten-free oats
- Cassava flour
- Organic cane sugar
- Ground cinnamon
- Vegan butter
- Vanilla extract
