I added an egg, 3 T pumpkin seeds, 2 T flax, and a scoop of chia seeds to the crumble mix. I used 1/4 cup raw sugar and 3 T agave rather than a full 1/2 cup sugar. I used homemade cranberry sauce and used 1.5 T corn starch, which was perfect – good call on increasing that. I also used walnuts on top. No longer vegan, but really dang tasty.

However, it might interest you to know that Agave Nectar is not particularly healthy to consume and the lining of the cans used to hose the cranberry sauce may contain a toxic residue called BPA. Lastly, cooking the cranberries and spinach for long periods of time, may produce a palatable desert, but essentially render the nutrients null and void. Have you tried/considered experimenting with a raw or less processed version of this desert?
