High Fructose Corn Syrup Free Cinnamon-Walnut Mango Oat Crisp
Juicy, caramelized mango bubbling beneath a golden, crunchy oat-and-walnut topping is exactly the kind of dessert that makes people hover near the oven waiting for it to come out. The filling gets a bright lift from fresh lime juice and grated ginger, while ground cinnamon ties everything together in the most warming, fragrant way. Skipping high fructose corn syrup in baked goods can be trickier than it sounds — it hides in everything from canned fruit fillings to store-bought crumble mixes — but this recipe sidesteps all of that by relying on fresh mango and pure maple syrup to do the sweetening. The topping comes together with rolled oats, chopped walnuts, almond flour, melted coconut oil, and another drizzle of maple syrup, so every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify. A pinch of turmeric in the crumble is optional but adds a subtle earthiness and a gorgeous color to the finished dish. After about 35 to 40 minutes in the oven, the edges bubble and the topping turns a deep, toasty gold that's almost impossible to resist. Let it rest for just ten minutes before serving and the filling thickens into something truly spoonable and satisfying.
