This recipe contains no sugar, honey, or artificial sweetening. It is not sweet but does have a little dried fruit.

Recommended serving size is about 1/4 cup because it is high fat/calorie.
Recommended to serve on top of stewed fruit with unsweetened yoghurt.

It is a bit ordinary on its own but on top of stewed apple with yoghurt it is yummy. And while i could happily eat more, i find I can cope with just a 1/4 cup serve. I experimented with different things but i haven’t actually tried the besan flour version on my apple yet so not sure how much i like it. But besan flour has a higher protein content than wholemeal flour i think but its got a sour flavour.

60g unsalted butter
1 cup flour – besan/wholemeal/or whatever else your want to try maybe semolina (which might need more water i’m not sure)
1 cup shredded coconut (or desiccated)
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup of mixed seeds and nuts including sesame, sunflower, pumpkin kernels, walnuts
1/2 cup of mixed dried fruit – sultanas or currents would also be fine.
cardamom or other spices.
I used a Duck egg for this much but you can use 2 small eggs or 1 small egg for half this quantity
4 tbsp water.

Beat the egg separately and add the water.

Rub the butter with the flour, coconut and oats before adding the nuts and dried fruit. Then add in the egg and water.

Bake in a greased tray at 180 for 45 minutes or until golden.

If you are baking this directly with the stewed fruit, then put the dried fruit on top of the apple instead of mixing it into the crumble. It will absorb more water.
