Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble! A gluten free, protein-packed warm weather dessert. Lightly sweetened, perfect for sharing and parties! Gluten Free + Vegan
Happy almost 4th of July! I'm re-sharing this Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble just in time for the week's celebrations. I re-tested, re-shot and lightened up the sugar content from the original recipe. Still equally delicious and I hope you love it!
While I was re-making this Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble recipe, I kept thinking how much I want to someday own a healthy cafe filled with pancakes, muffins, breakfast sandwiches and more. Along with all the other crazy dreams I have! Of course, the cafe is one at the very top of the list.
Every time I see the movie, It's Complicated I think the woman in this movie is living "my life." Well, sans the whole divorced with 3 kids part. We're both successful business women, both quirky, and my current boyfriend I could easily equate to Steve Martin. Goofy, sensitive, funny and knows when to be serious.
What really equates to my life in this movie though, is her gorgeous, rustic cafe with rainbows of fresh produce, coffee, large chocolate croissants and delectable blueberry scones. Only my baked goods would be healthier and lighter. Every time I watch that movie I think to myself, this is me. This is what I want my life to look like at 50.
It's easy to dream, but will it happen? I tell all my clients they have to imagine themselves losing weight or imagine their body changing. What the mind believes, the body will follow.
The movie came on while I was making this beautiful Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble, and if I ever do have that cafe guaranteed this will be on the menu!

Suggestions on how to make this topping crispy?
Hello Megan,
RE: BERRY QUINOA CRUMBLE
After baking, is the topping crispy or more like doughy/biscuit?
Hi there! The crust has oats, almond flour and quinoa. It tastes like a crumble with a soft topping.
Do the berries need to be thawed first?
Yes they do
