Oh good. More vegetarian recipes by vegetarian bloggers. This is something that MFP has been sorely lacking.

  No one is saying that meat is bad for you.
  
  They’re just saying that you should never ever eat it.
  
  Ever.
  
  Meat – not even once.

This recipe as yummy as it sounds , has more carbs in it than what is recommended for me for one meal and one snack!!! How can we cut the carbs down and still keep the taste? Also, where do we find oat flour? Thanks.

Holy sugar!!! 26 grams is no way to start your day. Better off eating eggs. Although this recipe does look delish

Yikes. Lots of sugar. 🙁 Thanks for the idea. I’ll clean it up a bit though.

I am concerned that this recipe is tagged “gluten free”. Most coeliacs on a gluten-free diet are advised to avoid oats. Wheat, rye and barley are definite “no go” foods but some coeliacs react badly to oats too. I think that, if this recipe continues to be labelled “gluten free”, it should be accompanied by a note that it contains oats. “Wheat free” would be a more accurate description.

You can easily eliminate the brown sugar in this, and then the only sugars you’d really be getting is from the berries. If you have a sweet tooth, a drizzle of maple syrup should satisfy!

I think I will change all the brown sugar in the crumble for honey. I can probably eliminate the sugar with the fruits completely berries have enough natural sugars in them and when you microwave them you are going to pull more of that flavor out.

I love this but I don’t add sugar to the fruit only a teaspoon to the crumble and I have used ground almonds instead of oat flour 🙂
