Grain free raspberry and apple crumble… for breakfast you say… really Jo? Yes really peeps! It’s wholesome, refind sugar free and a great way to stoke your engine for the day ahead. It’s absolutely delicious. Mr B had it for breakfast, lunch and tea … must have been good. His choice, not mine!
This grain free raspberry and apple crumble is sweetened naturally using just fresh fruit. Feel free to add a little honey or stevia if you like the fruit sweeter but after giving up sugar 4 years ago my palate has adjusted and I don’t think it needs it. It’s better to avoid too much sugar, even if it’s natural sugars if possible.
I think this has to be one of my favourite crumbles so far and the topping is going to become a regular feature in my autumn crumble makings! This grain free raspberry and apple crumble makes a great pudding too but I like it for breakfast. Well, why not?! Let me know in the comments below what you think. I hope you enjoy. Serve with coconut yoghurt for a dairy free alternative. Jo x
