Today I’ve got for you a recipe that I could easily call one of the ‘best things I ever made and ate’ :).It can be made ahead and frozen or refrigerated to be baked at the last minute to get all lovely and golden.The secret to my recipe here is ginger that adds a great depth of flavor to this dish.
The streusel consists of Almond Flour and some shredded coconuts for a crunchy nutty topping and boy was it good!!I’m so glad I used Almond Flour instead of all purpose flour since it gave it so much more body and flavor.The sweet aroma of coconut filled my kitchen as it was baking in the oven.It tasted phenomenal and had the perfect amount of sweetness!
The cranberries gave it the perfect tartness and the coconut worked like magic!! A lovely Casserole that’s easy, healthy and the most delicious!
