Fresh Fruit Crumble
Fresh Fruit Crumble is a delightful dessert that features a medley of seasonal fruits baked to perfection under a crunchy, golden topping made from oats, flour, and banana. This comforting dish balances the natural sweetness of the fruit with the rich crumble, creating a delicious combination of textures and flavors. It's often served warm and is perfect with a scoop of nce cream or a just some plant-based milk for an irresistible treat.
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 kg fresh fruit approx
- 1 large banana
- ½ cup sultanas
- 1 cup water
Crumble
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ⅔ cup sweet flour see notes
- ⅓ cup desiccated coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon or cardamom
- 1 large ripe banana
Instructions
- Wash the fruit and peel if you prefer. Chop into chunks about thumb width. Place in a saucepan with the water and sultanas. Stew for a few minutes until slightly soft. Taste, and if you want it sweeter, mash or finely chop the banana, add and stir.
- Heat oven to 180°C (350℉), then stir the dry crumble ingredients together in a bowl.
- Mash a banana into the dry ingredients to form a crumbly texture. Then mix using your hands, scrunching it into an even, crumbly texture.
- When the oven is hot, pour the stewed fruit into a baking dish, (Pyrex or ceramic is good), and scatter the crumb mixture loosely and evenly over the top.
- Bake approx. 30 minutes; (watch after around 20 minutes until you get used to how it behaves in your oven.). When golden on top, it is ready. Serve with plant milk, or plant-based yoghurt – (not coconut as it overwhelms the delicate flavour).
Notes
Sweet Flour = any finely ground wholegrain flour, other than savoury ones like chickpea. Gluten-free flours, such as rice, corn and buckwheat are good in their wholegrain form. Avoid nut or seed ‘flours’ such as coconut, almond or sesame, as they won’t bind the crumble together.
