It's Booberry Crumble!

This is part three in The Hungry Vegan Bear's Baking Series.

Sometimes The Hungry Vegan Bear needs a vacation, which is exactly what I did a few weeks ago.  I took a road trip up north with a pal from grad school.  We went to Portland, which, by the way, is an amazing city for vegans.  Every restaurant, cafe, and stand we visited accommodated my vegan needs, which is why I highly suggest this city for vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores from all over the world.  (Well, this and their amazing art scene, biking, and hiking trails!)  And we managed to hit Twin Falls outside of Seattle, for a half day hike and West Seattle for an evening of tapas, Celtic music, and fun.

And what better way to relax after returning home from a vacation?  Cooking!  Below is my recipe for a blueberry crumble, which I have aptly renamed Booberry in honor of Halloween.

Tools
11x7 glass Pyrex dish
plastic spoon
strainer
mixing bowl

Booberry Crumble Ingredients
24 oz blueberries
3/4 flour
1 c. oats
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
couple dashes of cinnamon
1 Tbsp vegan margarine
2 Tbsp coconut milk
1 lime
1/2 c. sugar

Empty the blueberries into the strainer and wash them with cool water and set to the side.  Take the Pyrex dish and use a bit of vegan margarine on the pan to keep the berries and crumble from sticking to the pan.  Then dump the berries into the dish.  In a small mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, melted margarine, coconut milk, lime and sugar.  Mix the dry and wet contents together until a nice crumble occurs.  Take the crumble and dump on top of the blueberries.  I like to combine the mix with the berries instead of leaving it on top, but it's up to you if you like a crust on top of the berries or if you would rather integrate the crumble and berries.

Preheat oven to 350 and then bake for about 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

This crumble is great over vanilla soy or rice dessert.  But if you prefer, I highly recommend with a non-dairy whip after the crumble comes right out of the oven!
