As you will know by reading my article Saskatoons are the Best Berries, they are my favourite berry and I am happy to eat them just as they are. For fun, I do also enjoy a Saskatoon crumble or pie. Here is my yummy crumble recipe.
Saskatoon Crumble Ingredients
Saskatoons are also very nutritious and they are, of course, the main ingredient in this Saskatoon crumble recipe. Packed with antioxidants and have over six times the amount of calcium, twice the manganese, and more protein, fat, fiber, and iron than blueberries. A 100 gm serving has 22 percent of your daily requirement for iron.
As I don’t use sugar for my baking I often use stevia which is the healthy option. The stevia plant is incredibly sweet and also incredibly good for you. The leaf is 30 times sweeter than sugar while extracts are 300-400 times sweeter. The best stevia will, therefore, be the one that retains some whole food value and is water-based. Liquid forms will be less processed. Go here to learn How to Get the Best Stevia Without the Bitterness.
Oats are a low-calorie food that provides high levels of fiber and low levels of fat. They help tp stabilizes blood sugar and reduces the risk of diabetes while removing bad cholesterol.
If you want gluten-free oats, here is a very good one Harvest Gluten Free Organic Rolled Old Fashioned Oats which is good for cooked oatmeal porridge. For making a crumble, it is better to have one like this: Bob’s Red Mill Gluten-Free Quick Cooking Rolled Oats
Brown Rice Flour – Has become a staple in my baking adding fiber and nutrition. It assists in weight loss, helps reduce cholesterol and balances energy. It is low cost and adds a somewhat dry gritty crumbly texture.
Brown rice syrup is made from cooked brown rice, which is fermented by adding enzymes to turn the starches in the rice into sugars. Brown rice syrup is absorbed easily into our system, leaving less for fat accumulation in contrast with regular sugar. It is a complex sugar thus takes longer to digest and does not create the sugar high that the simple sugars do.
For this recipe and all my recipes, I use Himalayan salt which is actually good for you!
