Individual Berry Crumble

This time of year calls for warm berry desserts whenever possible, don't you think?  This recipe will fill 4 10 ounce ramekins, so you can share or have your own comfort fest 4 nights in a row.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Crumble Recipe
6 lowfat graham crackers
1/4 cup walnuts
1/8 cup old fashioned oats
1/8 cup orange juice
1/8 cup agave nectar

Process until mixture is a fine crumb.  Spray ramekins lightly with oil and coat with crumb mixture, leaving 1/4 inch layer in bottom.

10 oz. ramekin prepared for berry filling


Berry Filling
4 cups frozen mixed berries, or fresh if you have them
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup agave nectar
1/8 cup corn starch
1/4 cup almond milk
1/4 tsp. vanilla
pinch each of nutmeg and salt

Place berries in large skillet over medium heat.  Combine all other ingredients in a separate bowl and whisk to eliminate any clumps.  Pour liquid mixture over the berries and cook until thickened.  Transfer berry filling to the four ramekins and top each with 1/4 of the remaining crumb mixture.
Bake for 45 minutes or until your house smells heavenly.  It's time to sit down and relax over a warm dessert, preferably with a scoop of vanilla non-dairy ice cream.
