- Add the almond flour and oil and mix in well and toast for half a minute. Add the salt, spices and sugar and mix in. Take off heat.
- Add maple syrup a tbsp at a time, while still hot, and mix in to make crumbly mixture. Add a tsp more oil or maple to get the texture you prefer. Taste and adjust sweet by adding in some more coconut sugar. Transfer mixture to a bowl
- Combine the ingredients for the berry mixture in the same or different skillet over medium heat. Mix well and cook for 7 to 9 minutes partially covered, or until the berries are tender and the mixture thickens slightly. Taste and adjust sweet and flavor. Add more water if too thick.
