Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups chopped apples (about 2 medium apples; Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup protein powder (vanilla works best; use unflavored if preferred)
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey (maple keeps it vegan)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- Dairy-free ice cream, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (about 8×8 inches or equivalent).
- Toss the chopped apples with the cinnamon in a bowl until evenly coated. Set aside.
- Combine the rolled oats, protein powder, almond flour, maple syrup (or honey), salt, and melted coconut oil in a separate bowl, mixing until crumbly.
- Spread the cinnamon-coated apples in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Scatter the oat-protein mixture over the apples, pressing lightly.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and the apples are bubbling.
- Let the crumble cool for 5 minutes before serving warm with a scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
Notes
For a nut-free version, swap almond flour with oat flour. Use chocolate protein powder for a chocolate twist.
