Fruity Crumble

This healthier crumble uses the

natural sweetness of the fruit with

some maple syrup rather than the

large amount of refined sugar found

in traditional crumbles. Replace

the maple syrup with honey, if you

prefer. Berries and purple plums are

also rich in polyphenols, which have

powerful antioxidant properties

Hands-on Time 15 minutes Cooking

Time About 40 minutes Serves 6

450g ripe plums, halved and stones

removed

6 tbsp maple syrup

2½ tsp ground cinnamon

3 tsp vanilla extract

300g frozen mixed berries, defrosted

1 tbsp cornflour

100g rolled oats

75g whole-wheat flour

50g flaked almonds

75g coconut oil

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Put the
   plums into a frying pan with a lid
   with 2 tbsp water, 3 tbsp of the
   maple syrup and 1 tsp each of the
   cinnamon and vanilla. Cover and
   simmer gently for about 5 minutes,
   until tender. Add the berries, with

their juice, and the cornflour, and

mix well. Tip the mixture into a 1,1ℓ

ovenproof dish.

2. In a large bowl, mix together the
   remaining maple syrup, cinnamon
   and vanilla with the oats, flour, flaked
   almonds and coconut oil. Spoon over
   the fruit and then bake for 20 to 30
   minutes until the fruit is bubbling and
   soft and the topping is golden.
   EACH SERVING About 1 560kJ, 7g
   protein, 19g fat (11g saturated),
   41g carbohydrate (18g total sugars),
   7g fibre.

GH TIP

To make this

gluten-free,

replace the

whole-wheat

flour with an

equal amount of

gluten-free oats,

whizzed to a fine

crumb in a food

processor.
