Ingredients

• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 800g mixed berries – such as blueberries, raspberries, blackberries

• 150g almond meal
• 1/4 cup caster sugar

Instructions

1. – Preheat oven to 180degrees

6. – Ensure all the ingredients are combined well
7. – Pour the mix over the berries, ensuring the base is completely covered with the batter
8. – Bake for 30-35 minutes or until firm to the touch and golden
