Baked Apple Crumble With Oatmeal: Vegan and Gluten Free

I like this recipe because it works for people on plant-based diets, people who need to avoid gluten, and also just anyone who likes apples and cinnamon. (Who doesn’t?)

I like to make this apple crumble for breakfast, but you could serve it with whipped coconut cream cream or banana “nice” cream for dessert. (Or just regular whipped cream and ice cream if you aren’t avoiding dairy.) 

I also love how flexible this recipe is. 

Don’t have flax seed? Leave it out. 

Want to make it oil-free? Try using apple juice or apple sauce in place of the dairy-free butter. (I would try a few tables of apple juice mixed with the apples, and applesauce mixed with the oatmeal. I haven’t tested it this way, though. If you do, please let me know!)

Don’t like nuts? Leave them out. 

Don’t eat sugar? It won’t be as sweet, but you can leave that out too. Or if you want it sweeter, add a little more sugar. (I have not tested it with other sweeteners, but I imagine any granulated sweetener should work.)

And add whatever you want. Dried cranberries, raisins, chopped pears, a little bit of sea salt…whatever your little heart desires. 

I hope you like it as much as I do. If you make it, please leave a comment and tell me how it turned out. And in the meantime, don’t forget to pin it to Pinterest.
