Egg, Dairy and Gluten Free Blueberry Crumble - Candida Diet friendly

Okay folks. I'm back. 

Well I wasn't gone anywhere. I was just consumed with discussing my daughter's leaky gut and food sensitivities and cooking new recipes for her. 

But my sweet tooth was getting impatient with me baking for her. Baking things I can't eat on the Candida diet like gluten free home-made granola and cornmeal muffins. 

So last night I whipped up this blueberry crumble. Something that could appease both of us and not upset our "diets". 

The base is made with a combination of coconut flour and flax and I used Chia gel as a replacement for the eggs. Worked like a charm. 

The berries are a debatable Candida diet item but given there is one cup of berries for the whole recipe I think it should be fine. Unless you plan on sitting down and eating the whole thing in one sitting. Which I must admit I was tempted to do. It was that good.

I sweetened the topping with a small amount of Xylitol and it was plenty sweet for me. I try to use Xylitol in extreme moderation and stick to Stevia 95% of the time but this was calling for some "sugar". 

Overall a great recipe that is quick to throw together and it safe for many different low-carb and food sensitivity diets. 

Next time I'm going to make a batch of vanilla bean coconut ice in my new ice cream maker to go on top.......................
