This is a tasty, sugar-free recipe that is great for breakfast or dessert. You can eat it warm with a dollop of dairy-free ice cream or yogurt, or eat it cold right of the fridge. This recipe will keep well for a few days, so bake up a batch at the beginning of the week and you’ll have an easy breakfast for the whole week!
Sugar-Free Apple Oatmeal Crumble (also vegan & gluten-free)
makes 8 servings
10-12 red apples, peeled and cut into bite sized chunks (I used organic gala apples which were on the smaller side)
1/2 cup raisins
1 tablespoon milled flax seed
1/4 cup agave nectar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
juice from 1/2 lemon
1 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons salt
1/3 cup vegan butter (I used Earth Balance), melted
Preheat your oven to 325°F.
In a large bowl, combine your apples, flax, agave, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined and fold in your raisins. Pour mixture into a 9 x 13 baking dish.
In the same bowl, combine your oats, maple syrup, salt, and vegan butter. Sprinkle over your apple mixture evenly.
Bake in your preheated oven for about 45 minutes to one hour, until the apples are soft and the mixture starts to bubble. Serve hot or cold, and store in the refrigerator.
It’s like apple pie for breakfast! Can you tell us how many servings are in a batch? Also, how much maple syrup; it says 1/2. Thanks!
Oops, sorry, Mel! It makes 8 servings, and it’s a 1/2 cup maple syrup. Thanks for pointing that out! Hope you enjoy the recipe.
