Ingredients

Scale

Berry Filling

  • 10 oz bag frozen mixed berries
  • 2 tbsp fruit jam of choice (no sugar added jam recommended, optional)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch

Crumble Topping

  • 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (30 g) protein powder or 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or spelt flour
  • 2 tbsp pecans, finely minced (optional)
  • 3 tbsp natural peanut butter or sunflower seed butter
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened plant-based milk or plain yogurt
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or replace with plant-based milk
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla paste or extract
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Berry Filling: Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine the frozen mixed berries, fruit jam (if using), and cornstarch. Stir gently until the berries are evenly coated to help thicken the filling during baking.
  2. Make the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free rolled oats, protein powder (or flour), minced pecans, natural peanut butter, maple syrup, plant-based milk (or yogurt), vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture holds together in small clumps.
  3. Assemble the Crumble: Divide the berry filling evenly between 2 to 3 small oven-safe ramekins. Then, spoon the crumble topping over the berries, spreading it evenly to cover the filling.
  4. Bake the Crumble: Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the crumble topping feels crisp and golden.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the crumbles to cool slightly for a few minutes until safe to handle. Optionally, top with some plant-based yogurt before serving for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

  • You can omit the fruit jam if you prefer a less sweet filling.
  • Protein powder adds extra protein but can be substituted with all-purpose or spelt flour if preferred.
  • The crumble topping can be customized with other nuts like almonds or walnuts.
  • Use any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk.
  • This recipe is gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats and protein powder.
  • For a vegan option, ensure the protein powder and other ingredients contain no animal products.
