Ingredients

Crumble

  • 1 cup oatmeal old fashioned or quick cooking work well
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 ripe, spotty banana
  • ¼ cup almond butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 1-2 handfuls chopped pecans or walnuts optional but adds such a nice texture

Filling

  • 12 oz frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp flour

Instructions

Prep

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Add the oats, cinnamon, and salt to a mixing bowl and stir to combine. Mash the banana and add it to the bowl along with the almond butter and maple syrup. Mix well and stir in the pecans. Set aside.

Bake

  • Then toss the berries with flour. Coat evenly and then transfer to a baking dish. Top with the cinnamon oat mixture and bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly around the edges.
    Note: Make sure you bake it long enough. I find that this crumble usually needs the full 45 minutes in my oven but it starts to look done around 30 minutes, so don't be fooled and pull it out too soon! You want the top to get a little crispy on top :)

Serve

  • Top with a dollop of plain, unsweetened vegan yogurt, a drizzle of almond butter, and some fresh fruit like berries or apple slices if desired.
    Fun twist: if you're seving this as a healthy dessert, top these warm berry crumble with a scoopo of vegan ice cream or some coconut whipped and your favroite toppings! So good :)

Notes

Makes two hearty servings as a main meal or serves four as a side dish if you're using it as part of a breakfast or brunch spread.
