I love a good berry crumble, but I prefer a healthier version that doesn’t overload my body with lots of processed sugar. This Berry Crumble recipe tastes great, but has NO added table sugar!

Start by mixing 1 1/2 cups flour with 1 1/4 cups rolled oats together. Add in 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/3 cup avocado oil. Mix well. Then add 1/2 cup pure maple syrup. You will use this mixture for the crust and topping.

Next add 2 cups of mixed berries (I used a mixture of raspberries, blackberries and blueberries) in a small pot. Heat over medium/low heat. Add 1/2 tsp lemon juice and mix well. Once the berries start gently bubbling, remove from heat.

Add 1/2 of the dry mixture to the bottom of an 8X8 baking pan and press down gently.

Add Berry mixture on top and then add the rest of the dry mix on top.

Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until lightly browned.

Enjoy this as a dessert or with breakfast!

There is nothing quite like a delicious bowl of soup on a cold night. This Chicken Corn Chowder soup has become one of my favorites!!!

Start by cooking the bell peppers & garlic cloves with olive oil over low heat. Add all other ingredients except the milk. I used pre-cooked shredded chicken to save time, but you can cook and shred your chicken beforehand.

Bring to a low boil and then simmer for 25 minutes.

Remove 3 cups of soup and blend until pureed. Add the milk ( I have used coconut & oat milk and both work great!)and pour back into the pot of soup.

Cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Enjoy! I served my homemade naan bread with this! Click here for the Naan bread recipe:
