Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Whole wheat flour
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 40 grams Cold unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes.
Add the butter cubes to the flour mixture.
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs. You should still have a few chunks of butter visible, which will help create a crumbly texture.
Spread the crumble mixture evenly over your prepared fruit or dessert base.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crisp.
Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.
