Apple Breakfast Crumble

A healthy, easy breakfast crumble from Filling Meals by Lindsay Wilson.

This meal just makes me smile! It’s basically a berry compote turned into a crumble. I kept the cooking time to under 20 minutes, so it’s actually a viable weekend breakfast in cold weather. The chia seeds really make it work.

Serves: 1
Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 10-20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 150g frozen mixed berries
  • 1 apple, unpeeled, chopped into small chunks (100g)
  • Juice of ½ orange
  • 30g instant porridge oats
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 10g chia seeds
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 100g Greek yogurt (0% fat)

Method

  1. Add the berries, apple and orange juice to a small saucepan. Cook over a high heat for 10 minutes until the fruit starts to form a stew.
  2. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200°C fan/220°C/gas7.
  3. In a bowl, mix the oats with the egg and maple syrup.
  4. Remove the fruit mixture from the heat and add the chia seeds and cinnamon. Mix well so the chia seeds absorb the hot fruit mix.
  5. Transfer the fruit mix to a small, deep baking tin, about 18 x 13 x 5cm, spreading it to cover the base, then cover with the oat mixture.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes.
  7. You can also make this in the air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C. Place the fruit mix in an air-fryer safe baking tray, top with the oat mixture and air fry for 10 minutes.
  8. Serve with the yogurt on the side.

Top Tip: Try a single serving the first time you make this, but if you like it, it’s a natural to prep at much greater scale so you can enjoy it whenever you want.
