Recipe Tips

*A Note on Coconut Coconut is technically a fruit. While most allergists do not consider it a tree nut, if you are nut allergic, ask your doctor if coconut is safe for you.

Instructions

For gluten-free flour blend, thoroughly whisk all ingredients in a large bowl until evenly distributed. Store blend in a airtight container. For long-term storage, keep in the refrigerator or freezer.
To make crumble, preheat oven to 350° F.
Place peach slices in a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup sugar, starch and lemon juice. Toss to coat peaches. Gently stir in raspberries. Pour fruit mixture into an 8×8-inch baking dish.
In a medium bowl, combine oats, flour blend, 1/4 cup sugar, brown sugar and salt. Add oil and maple syrup and cut in with a pastry blender or fork until ingredients are well-distributed. Sprinkle oat crumble over fruit.
Bake 45-50 minutes or until fruit is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Let cool 10 minutes and serve.
