Berry, Buckwheat & Hazelnut Crumble with Fresh Mint

September 4 2014

I seem to always be experimenting with different ingredients and flavour combinations, and my latest creative success is this buckwheat and berry crumble. I have made many crumbles in my time but never with buckwheat flour so decided to give it a go. I've teamed this buckwheat crumble topping with fresh strawberries, blackberries, and a sprinkling of fresh mint. The tartness of the berries and freshness of the mint plays nicely with the nutty, earthiness of the buckwheat and hazelnuts. The combination is delightful! I like to serve it warm with fresh organic cream, but you could also serve it with yoghurt or a dairy-free alternative like coconut yoghurt.

Side note: I am also very excited about a recent product discovery I made... Vanilla Bean Powder! I discovered Loving Earth Vanilla Bean Powder at my local health food shop not long ago, and am already obsessed! It is pure organic vanilla bean pods ground into a powder. I often use vanilla bean paste in cooking but found some brands contain additives like sugar syrups or even alcohol. If you don’t want to use whole vanilla bean pods or paste this is a great alternative. The vanilla powder comes in an airtight amber jar, so it's easy to keep stored in the pantry. My little jar is lasting forever! It's very economical. I highly recommend.
