Carambola 
Blueberry Crisp

This is a slightly different take on the traditional “crisp” recipe. Cooking it on a shallow baking sheet rather than a deeper baking dish gives it an even crispier texture. Use coconut oil instead of butter to make this vegan.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 carambola (starfruit), sliced into ⅛ inch slices, any seeds removed
  • 1 pint blueberries (about 2 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup unrefined coconut palm sugar or light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats (not instant)
  • ½ cup unrefined coconut palm sugar or light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tablespoons almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, melted, or melted butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 11x15 inch rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine starfruit slices, blueberries, lime juice, vanilla, brown sugar and cinnamon. Pour onto prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly. In a medium bowl, combine oats, sugar and flour.  Add oil (or butter) and mix in, using a fork, until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle topping mixture evenly over fruit mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes until topping is golden and fruit is tender. Serve warm.
