This crumble is one of the best comfort foods I’ve ever tasted. My kids give it “Two thumbs up, and two big toes up!” As an added bonus, it’s made with fresh fruit, no refined sugar, and protein-rich, fiber-rich quinoa flakes. We eat this for breakfast, at teatime, as dessert, and any time in between.
