The Whole Wheat

There is no denying that Heidi Swanson of 101 Cookbooks has not only fantastic recipes, but beautiful photos. Her recent book: Super Natural Cooking is an absolute delight and I will be sharing some recent discoveries from that soon as well. But this recipe is all about summer fruit and dessert – which we all need from time to time. My version is vegan of course, but Brad and fully enjoyed it!

Ingredients:

• 2-3 peaches
• 5-6 plums
• 1/4 c white or brown sugar
• 1 T plus 1 t cornstarch
• 3/4 c rolled oats
• 3/4 c flour
• 1/2 c brown sugar
• 1/2 t cinnamon
• sprinkle of nutmeg
• pinch of salt
• 1/3 c vegan butter, melted (I like Earth Balance)
• 1/3 c rice milk

1. Preheat the oven to 400F degrees.
2. Cut the peaches and plums into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle the first 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch over fruit. Mix well, but gently. Place in the bottom of a deep dish pie plate or other baking container (about 8×8 if square).
3. Combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a medium bowl to make the topping. Stir in the butter and rice milk and mix until clumpy and dough-like. Spread evenly over the plum and peach mixture.
4. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden.
