Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 g Digestive biscuits
- 100 g Rolled oats
- 150 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Brown sugar
- 3 tbsp Golden syrup
- 50 g Chopped almonds (or preferred nuts)
- 100 ml Heavy cream (optional, for serving)
- scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm (8-inch) square baking tin with parchment paper.
Place the digestive biscuits in a large ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they form fine crumbs. Add the crushed biscuits to a mixing bowl.
Add the rolled oats and chopped almonds to the bowl with the biscuits. Stir together until well combined.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and golden syrup. Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth and bubbling slightly.
Carefully pour the melted butter mixture over the biscuit, oat, and almond mixture in the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spoon or your hands to create an even layer.
Bake the crumble in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and slightly firm to touch.
Remove the tray from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the tin. Once cooled, cut into squares or bars.
Serve as is, or top with a dollop of heavy cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
