Oat flour and cut oats
In this recipe you will use oat flour and cut rolled (quick) oats. Both can be storebought or made yourself by grinding rolled oats. Make sure whatever you use that its guaranteed glutenfree.
Chestnut flour
Chestnuts are ‘real’ nuts that contain a lot less fat than other nuts, even less than oats. Chestnut flour is a nice and sweet flour that’s easy to work with. In bakings it’s a bit denser that flour grains. It turns brown when heated so it will makes your bakings darker. That’s why the cherries in this crumble are dark red instead of pinkish.
Ingredients
- Cherries – fresh, potted or frozen.
