Fruit crumble is an easy versatile spring-time favourite among dessert lovers that can be made from seasonal local fruit such as apples, peaches, and berries, or from canned or frozen fruit varieties. Check out our healthy no-bake breakfast variation on the sweet and savoury dessert; enhanced with Grainworks organic wheat flakes, Shredded Coconut, and the ancient hearty Hulled Millet seed.

Commonly enjoyed throughout the world as porridge, millet is a small mild flavoured gluten-free grain that is as versatile as it is delicious. It can be used to be made into breads, soups, flat breads (common in India to make roti– a staple flat bread), brewed to make beer, and can also be popped and enjoyed as an antioxidant rich and healthy snack.

1 tbsp butter

2 cups of Grainworks organic wheat flakes

1 cup of Grainworks shredded coconut

zest of one lemon

2 pinches of salt

1. In a small pot bring water, a pinch of salt, and millet to a boil; cover; add one tbsp of butter; simmer on low for 20-25 minutes, or until all water is absorbed.* to achieve a nuttier millet flavour we roasted the millet on medium high in a cast iron skillet for 5 minutes.
