I still remember when I used to be a little girl and would go up to england to visit my grandparents. One of the highlights would always be this delicious crumble my grandma and I would make. First my grandpa and I would go and pick the fruit for the crumble from his garden, and then I got to help my grandma create the crumble. I still remember sneaking dough into my mouth every time she turned around and then patiently sitting in front of the oven waiting for it to be done. By the time it was done the whole house was always filled with the delicious smell of crumble and I have so many wonderful memories of sitting down with my grandparents and enjoying a bowl of hot crumble and custard.
So, when waking up on this rainy, sunday morning I suddently felt the urge to just sit down and enjoy a bowl of hot crumble and that’s when I came up with this: A delicious strawberry crumble that’s not only vegan but free of dairy, gluten, refined flour and sugar and defiantly a healthier version of the traditional english crumble. It was still just as comforting and delicious thought!
You will need:
- 1/2 cup flour of your choice (I used a mix between oat flour, protein powder and coconut flour)
- Vanilla to taste (about 1/2 a tbsp)
- 1/16 tsp of salt
- Desired amount of Stevia or Sweetener of choice (when using liquid sweetener, cut back on the applesauce a little bit)
- 3 tbsp unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tbsp coconut butter (you can make your own by blending unsweetened coconut flakes in a food processor until they reach a buttery consistency)
- 1/3 cup chopped up strawberries or any other fruit of your choice
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees celsius. Combine the dry ingredients together. Then melt the coconut butter, and add to the dry ingredients. Add the unsweetened apple sauce and rub it all together using your hands until it resembles the texture of bread crumbs. If needed add more unsweetened apple sauce or coconut butter. Fill your baking dish with half the mixture. Then add your fruit and cover with the other half of the crumble mixture. Bake in the oven for about 20-30min or until gold brown and enjoy.
Have a lovely and healthy day guys ♥
