The ‘best’ healthy apple crumble recipe using oats and a secret ingredient

This quick and easy recipe contains no butter or flour, making it low in fat and healthier than most apple crumbles

HOW TO MAKE A SUPER HEALTHY APPLE CRUMBLE WITH OATS

The humble apple crumble is one of Britain’s much-loved puds.

It’s cosy, it’s sweet and it’s the ultimate comfort food especially following a traditional Sunday roast and during the winter months.

Whether you like yours smothered in cream, vanilla ice cream or hot custard, like most traditional desserts, it’s laden with fat and sugar.

It contains no flour or butter and features a surprising ingredient to give it a natural sweetness.

The secret… mashed banana.

Using it alongside oats, makes this recipe lower in fat and calories but high in fibre.

It is vegan friendly, plus you can easily make a big batch if you’re a fan of meal prepping.

Apple crumble recipe (serves 2):

Ingredients:

• 100g oats (75g blended and 25g as they come).
• 50g over-ripe mashed banana.
• 2 tbsp sweetener or any sugar.
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
• 4 green apples or 6 tbsp apple puree.

Method:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 200C/ 400F/ gas mark 6.
2. Mash the banana. If you have a microwave, pop it in there for 30 seconds so it becomes mushy.
3. Put it in a bowl along with the oats, cinnamon and sweetener and using a fork or spoon, stir it so it clumps together to form breadcrumbs. If it’s too wet add more oats.
4. For a quick option use apple puree from a jar. Some supermarkets sell them with chunky apple pieces which is ideal. Otherwise, peel, core and chop four apples, cook them with a bit of water on the hob in a saucepan until they soften or in a mug in the microwave for five minutes.
5. Then put the cooked apple at the bottom of a baking dish (this will serve two people) then layer on the crumble topping.
6. Oven bake for 20 minutes.
7. To keep it extra healthy, serve with low-fat vanilla yoghurt.

Top cooking tips

• If you’re using fresh apples, you may want to sprinkle 1 tbsp of extra sweetener over them when you put them in the baking dish to make them sweeter.
• Or you can add 1 tbsp of sultanas.
• If you’re not fussed on apple or fancy trying something different, this recipe works really well with berries.
• And if you like some extra crunch, add 1 tbsp of sliced almonds into the crumble mixture.
• If you follow a gluten-free diet, use gluten-free oats, available in most major supermarkets.
• If you have any leftover or you are batch cooking, this apple crumble can be popped in the freezer after cooking and just heated up once thawed out.
• To blend your oats, simply use a hand held blender or a food processor. It will take around three seconds to turn into an oat flour.

UNOFFICIAL SLIMMING WORLD APPLE CRUMBLE MADE WITH OATS

A delicious unofficial Slimming World apple crumble recipe made with oats as part of your allowance. It’s also carefully portioned to control what you’re eating.

Every now and then, we love to have this unofficial Slimming World crumble. And thankfully, with this apple crumble recipe being portioned, it’s easy to control what you’re eating.

And that’s because, when fruit is cooked, it needs to be counted. So, I tend to completely avoid it, which is a shame.

But after picking up a huge bag of cooking apples for a bargain pound at a farm campsite in Norfolk last weekend, I thought stuff it. And this is kind of like healthy granola topped crumble.

HOW TO MAKE UNOFFICIAL SLIMMING WORLD FRUIT CRUMBLE

Firstly, you could even adapt this to make a rhubarb crumble or half and half. Or, why not rhubarb and pear crumble?

Whatever you decide, you’ll find my printable recipe below to help guide you, including a healthy apple crumble with oats how to video. But all I do is:

• Preheat my oven at 190 degrees and spray 6 ramekin dishes with frylight
• Prep the apples and in a large mixing bowl, combine the cinnamon, orange juice, half the sweetener and spoon evenly into the dishes
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt the margarine and mix in the oats and remaining sweetener
• Then spoon your crumble topping on the apple mixture and bake for 20 minutes!

WHAT TO EAT WITH APPLE CRUMBLE

There’s quite a few low syn ice creams now on the market, such as Halo that are great with this sugar free apple crumble. Or, we often enjoy it with a low-fat yogurt.

This tasty rhubarb and ginger crumble is a great winter pud that’s much healthier than other traditional crumble offerings.

Slimming World’s rhubarb crumble(opens in new tab) is a real teatime treat that delivers classic British crumble flavours whilst helpfully being low in fat too. The tart, tender rhubarb is topped with a golden, crunchy crumble that packs a nice ginger punch. And it’s incredibly quick and easy to whip up – taking just 45 minutes to make and bake. Allow to cool from the oven, before serving with a drizzle of low fat cream.

Ingredients

• 500g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into small pieces
• 3 tbsp sweetener
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• Finely grated zest of ½ orange
• Fat free natural fromage frais, sweetened to taste, to serve
• 50g plain flour
• 40g extra-light spread
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tbsp sweetener

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/Gas 6.
2. Put the rhubarb, sweetener, ginger, orange zest and 5 tablespoons of water in a saucepan over a very low heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes until the flavours have combined. When the rhubarb is soft but still holding its shape, transfer it to a medium-sized baking dish.
3. To make the crumble, put the flour and spread in a bowl and rub together with your fingers until you have a soft, crumbly mixture. Mix in the ginger and sweetener with your fingers then scatter the topping over the rhubarb. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden and serve hot with a dollop of fat free fromage frais.

Top tips for making rhubarb and ginger crumble:

Go for ‘forced’ rhubarb if you can get it – this more delicate, watermelon-pink variety is grown under pots and is in season in the early months of the year.
