Ingredients

Berry Filling

  • 10 oz bag frozen mixed berries
  • 2 tbsp fruit jam of choice (no sugar added preferred, 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 (spoon and level)
  • 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. Preheat Oven and Prepare Berry Filling: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine the frozen mixed berries, fruit jam, and cornstarch, stirring well until the berries are evenly coated.
  2. Mix Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, add oats, protein powder, minced pecans (if using), peanut butter, maple syrup, plant-based milk or yogurt, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms small clumps.
  3. Assemble Crumble: Divide the berry mixture evenly between 2 to 3 small oven-safe ramekins. Top each with an even layer of the crumble mixture.
  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 topping turns crisp and golden.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the crumbles to cool for a few minutes until safe to handle. Serve topped with plant-based yogurt if desired, and enjoy your high-protein breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can omit the fruit jam if you prefer a less sweet filling or want to reduce added sugars.
  • Substitute protein powder with all-purpose flour or spelt flour for a more traditional crumble texture.
  • Use any plant-based milk such as almond, oat, or soy milk for dairy-free options.
  • Optional pecans add a nice crunch and extra nutrition but can be left out to keep it nut-free.
  • Adjust maple syrup quantity based on desired sweetness.
  • Serve warm topped with extra plant-based yogurt for added creaminess.
