Fonio Almond Mango Crisp

With Fonio
Looking for a baking project that is SO satisfying but not too sweet? Look no further. Our fonio-based crisp is sure to be a hit. For the best crumble, be sure to slightly overcook the fonio and let cool on a sheet pan before topping off your mango. Additionally, we recommend you check your crisp halfway through – if it’s browning too fast, cover the baking pan with foil for the remainder of the baking time to avoid burning that delish fonio crumble!
