This quick and easy raw, vegan, gluten-free berry cobbler recipe is a truly healthy treat that still satisfies our desire for something sweet.

Ingredients: 

4-5 cups mixed berries, such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries (usually a pint of strawberries with a ½ pint each of the others)

1 tablespoon agave nectar (vegan) or raw honey (non-vegan) or maple syrup (not a raw sweetener but delicious!)

½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 cup dried unsweetened shredded coconut

½ cup walnut pieces

½ cup pecan pieces

4 large medjool dates, pitted and chopped
¼ teaspoon of almond extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon powder

Pinch of grated nutmeg

Pinch of sea salt

Preparation:   Gently wash the berries and drain well. Cut the stems from the strawberries and slice into wedges. Toss the berries with the agave and vanilla extract. Divide them amongst 4 dessert glasses and set aside.

Place the remaining ingredients -coconut, walnuts, pecans, dates, almond extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt- in a food processor and pulse the mixture until it is coarsely ground but still has texture. Divide the mixture between the 4 berry dishes, scattering evenly over the top to form a "crust". Enjoy!!
