Blueberry Flaxseed Crumble
Enjoy this while blueberries are in season this summer.
Crumbles and cobblers typically use flour in the filling to absorb some of the fruit juices and thicken the mixture. Crumble toppings also usually use flour.
This recipe uses Manitoba Milling Smooth Whole Milled Flaxseed in place of flour in both the filling and crumble topping. The incredibly fine mill of this flaxseed allows it to behave like flour and absorb the liquid to create a thicker pie filling consistency.
