Crumble... apple, berry, rhubarb - you choose! (all of the above mixed together)

Some GF people can handle oats, but not my girl so I've had to invent an alternative way to make crumble.

The key to this is the buckwheat groats, it adds a perfect crunchiness you can't beat. If you can't find buckwheat groats or you were hoping to make the crumble RIGHT NOW, then it still works without, just not as good!

Preheat the oven to 180C/350f

Chop up your fruit and place in oven proof dish, add sugar as appropriate eg. lots for rhubarb, not much for apple.

The quantity of crumble mix required really depends on the size and shape of your dish, so just keep adding spoonfuls of this or that until it looks like enough, then add some more because it never is!

For my two individual pie dishes:

3 tab DF spread, melted
1c almond meal
1/4c buckwheat groats
3 or 4 tab GF baking mix or cornflour
2 tab brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

mix it up, should look like wet breadcrumbs. Top all over the fruit, press it down a bit, but not too much, mine is always threatening to escape out of the dish.

Wack it in the hot oven until it smells amazing and you can't wait any longer and is lovely golden brown on top. I find it is waaaay too hot to eat, so have to put some DF GF fake ice cream on top to cool it off! Here is NZ the Lite Licks range is ok.

Sorry no photos, we ate it all up already!
