Paleo Berry Crisp

This is good.

Just so you know.

Did I have a couple of kids turn their noses up at it?

Sure.

Why?

One kiddo doesn't like nuts...... of any kind.  (She ate it when I took the nuts off, though.)

One kiddo doesn't like chia seeds....... it's a texture/mind thing. (Although, she will eat raspberries and blackberries just fine. Go figure.)

That being said, this dessert is just bursting with flavor and will actually have you feeling good about eating something that satisfies that sweet tooth!

Ready to start?  Here's what you need....

1. Put cleaned berries {I chose raspberries, blackberries and blueberries} in a 9x9 dish.  Sprinkle with chia seeds.

2. Combine coconut oil, coconut palm sugar, almond meal flour, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne pepper (optional).  "Cut" with a fork to make a crumble.

3. Sprinkle crumble over berries.

4. Add chopped nuts to the top. (Optional)

5. Bake in a 375* oven for 25 - 30 minutes.

6. Serve warm.  Or warm leftovers up in the microwave ..... if there are any.

You can even add some frozen yogurt on the side, if you eat that kind of thing! (We do.)

The chopped nuts on top add such amazing texture.  The chia seeds help thicken the fruit juices to create a warm, gooey goodness to savor.

 
Every little (or big) bite was savored.

There were even a couple of requests for seconds.  (Which always makes my little heart happy!)

I'd love to hear about how you like the recipe, if you make it.  Make sure to give me feedback - I would appreciate it so much!

Keep loving Life!
