Quinoa and Oats Cherry Crisp
Fruit crisps are an all-time favorite and can be adapted to just about any fruit — think fresh or frozen cherries, peaches or berries baked with a buttery crunchy topping. Apples or pears are great too! When I developed this wheat-free recipe for a client, I experimented with quinoa flakes* which look a lot like quick oats but are more flaky. I liked the crispy light texture  of quinoa flakes, but also wanted a more common option. With a little experimenting I found crushed cornflakes worked great too. So use quinoa or cornflakes, and try any of your favorite fresh or frozen fruits in this super simple crisp.

Quinoa and Oats Fruit Crisp

This fruit crisp is flexible to the fruit and topping ingredients you have on-hand.
Course: Dessert
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds fresh or frozen pitted cherries (or other fruit)
  • 1/2 cup natural or golden raisins
  • 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp. lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup oats, regular or quick-cooking
  • 1/2 cup choice of cereal flakes like quinoa or corn , crushed Or, omit cereal and use 1 cup oats
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds, optional
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut cherries in half if large; if using other fruit cut into 1/4-inch thick slices or chunks.

    .
  • Combine fruit, raisins, sugar and lemon juice in baking dish. Mix well. (Or, mix in a large bowl and distribute between 6 ramekins)
  • In a medium bow, mix oats, cereal flakes if using, brown sugar, almonds (optional), melted butter and cinnamon. Mix with fingers until blended.
  • Sprinkle crumb mixture evenly over fruit.
  • Bake 40-45 minutes for baking dish, or 35-40 minutes for ramekins. Serve warm or room temperature.

Notes

*Look for quinoa flakes in the cereal or health foods section of well-stocked supermarkets.
Ancient Harvest is the brand I found. 12oz box $5.69.
If fruit is very juicy, stir in 2 teaspoons cornstarch with sugar and lemon juice to lightly thicken juices.

      Olson’s Cherries are an institution! They are the best in Silicon Valley, I remember it was very special when I was growing up to buy cherries there.

      Wow — you are lucky to have lots of cherries! Our local season is just about over, I’ve been seeing Washington State cherries in supermarkets. I’d love to know your crisp turns out — send a snapshot if you have time 🙂

      You should be able to find the flakes where quinoa grain is sold, usually in the health foods section of regular supermarkets, or in the cereal section. It’s a bit expensive – I paid $5.69 for a 12oz box which is why I like the cornflakes option. I’ll add a link to Ancient Grains Quinoa Flakes on the post.

    I’m on the hunt now for quinoa flakes. I probably will need to head over to Reno to find them, but this looks so good right now with cherries all over the place.

      Look for Quinoa flakes in the health foods section of most supermarkets, though I don’t know about Reno! It’s a small blue box. I’m still making your fruit galette — check it out on my tumblr http://www.reciperose.tumblr.com
