Flourless Peach and Blueberry Crumble
By Donna&Danielle on September 26, 2015
Fruit cobblers and crumbles conjure up cozy memories of desserts from my childhood. In the winter it was warm and comforting and in the summer after a visit to an orchard it was fruity freshness! Served with homemade vanilla ice cream on top it was as perfect as a dessert could be! Determined to keep fruit crumbles on the menu in our home as we continue our clean eating journey, I came across several versions of flourless and sugarless (no white sugar) fruit crumbles. After experimenting this version was declared a winner by family and friends. No one even guessed that it did not contain flour or sugar. The fruit filling had just the right amount of sweetness. The crumble topping added a delightful crunchiness. However we did splurge, serving a scoop of ice cream on top! Although peaches and blueberries were used in our recipe the fruit could be varied according to taste or what is in season.
