• 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1⁄4 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons orange zest, finely grated

• For the topping

directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat an 8 by 8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, toss the berries with whole wheat flour, sugar and zest. Transfer the berry mixture to the baking dish and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl whisk together the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in the butter using 2 knives or a pastry cutter until many small pebble-sized pieces are formed.
4. In a small bowl or pitcher, whisk together the buttermilk and oil. Add the buttermilk-oil mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until just moistened. Do not over mix. Drop the batter onto the fruit forming 6 mounds. Sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of sugar. Bake for 30 minutes, until fruit is bubbly and top is golden. Let stand for at least 10 minutes before serving.

This was delicious! I used fresh fruit in it - raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, cherries and strawberries. I liked that the biscuit crumble wasn't uniform over the top, with lots of extra berry-only bites. I topped this with low fat vanilla bean ice cream. Even with the ice cream, I would add at least 2 more tablespoons of sugar next time (I usually cut the sugar 25% in all dessert recipes, so most people will want more than that). Serving size was spot on. The flavors are great in this, it is like a low fat pie!
