Description
Craving warm apple crumble without the guilt? Our High Protein Apple Crumble, with 20g protein, blends sweet apples, vanilla protein, oats, and almond flour.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium apples (e.g., Gala or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 30g vanilla protein powder (plant-based protein powder or plant protein blend)
- 40g rolled oats
- 1 tbsp (15g) almond flour
- 2 tbsp erythritol or preferred sugar substitute
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp (15g) light butter or coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup (60ml) water or unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, 1 tablespoon of erythritol, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and the water or unsweetened almond milk. Stir well until the apples are evenly coated.
- Step 2: Transfer the apple mixture into a small oven-safe ramekin or baking dish (approximately 10-12 oz capacity).
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, the remaining 1 tablespoon of erythritol, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Pour the melted light butter or coconut oil over the dry ingredients and mix with a fork or your fingertips until a crumbly texture forms.
- Step 4: Evenly sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over the apple mixture in the ramekin.
- Step 5: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender and bubbling, and the crumble topping is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Keep any leftover crumble delightful by storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days; the flavors actually deepen overnight!
- To enjoy that warm, cozy feeling again, gently reheat individual portions in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or for a refreshingly crisp topping, pop it back into a 300°F (150°C) oven for 10-15 minutes.
- This healthy apple crumble is absolutely divine served warm, perhaps with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt for an extra protein boost or a small scoop of sugar-free vanilla bean ice cream for a guilt-free treat.
- For the best crumble texture, be mindful that plant-based protein powders can vary in absorption; if your topping mix seems too dry, add an extra splash of melted butter or oil, or if too wet, a touch more oats until it forms perfect crumbs.
