Usually, when we talk about desserts for those who play sports and lead a healthy lifestyle, we mean something useful. But crumble is something special, and we cannot pass it by! Moreover, this kind of cake contains little flour and a lot of fruits.
What I liked about this dessert is that it is very easy to prepare; it contains a lot of fruits and berries; unlike the more familiar grated pie, it has much less dough; it is very, very juicy! And the calorie content and composition show it can be a great pre-workout snack.
The first trial was peach crumble with blueberries - one of the simplest, fastest and most delicious! The other two simply didn’t reach, but I’m sure that they are also very tasty and healthier, as they contain honey, nuts, oatmeal, buckwheat flour and whole wheat flour.
Crumble is an English dessert that can be either sweet or more savory - it all depends on its ingredients. However, its sweet version is more common. The sweet version usually consists of lightly poached fruit sprinkled with a mixture of flour, butter and sugar on top. The ingredients in the savory (salty, spicy) version are usually meat, vegetables and sauce for filling, and in the dough, sugar is replaced by cheese.
Peach crumble with blueberries
Ingredients
Fruits:
- 1 kg of ripe and hard peaches (6-8 pieces);
- 2 teaspoons of grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cups of flour;
- 1 cup fresh blueberries or blueberries
Dough:
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup sugar
- ¼ cups of brown sugar;
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ a teaspoon of ground cinnamon;
- 100 g diced butter
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Take peaches and pour boiling water over them for 30 seconds, immediately after that pour them over with cold water - this way it will be easy to peel them off. If it does not bother you, wash, cut and pull out the bone, and then cut into small slices.
Put in a bowl, add berries, lemon zest and lemon juice, sugar and flour there and mix everything well. You can add cinnamon there and not add it to the dough. Put the berry mixture into small ceramic tins, wide cups, small bowls, or even small foil tins.
In another bowl, combine flour, plain and brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and butter. Knead the dough well with your hands so that the butter is evenly distributed over the flour. The result is not a solid lump of dough, but like a bowl of crumbs. However, if you take a small amount of dough and crush it, it should stick together.
Sprinkle these crumbs over the peach-berry mixture in tins and place in the oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the crust begins to golden.
Take it out and let it cool down. Serve slightly warm with vanilla ice cream on top!
Peach crumble with blackberries and oatmeal
Ingredients
Fruits:
- 3 peaches (about 0.5 kg);
- 2 cups blackberries
- 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
- ⅓ cups of honey.
Dough:
- ¾ cups of instant oatmeal;
- ½ cup whole wheat flour;
- ⅓ cups of nuts (your choice);
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup sugar
- ⅓ cups of coconut oil;
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of vanillin
- 1 egg white.
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. In a separate bowl, combine the peaches and blackberries, cut into wedges. Then add orange juice and thyme leaves there, pour honey on top, sprinkle with flour and again mix everything thoroughly and gently. Lay out the fruit and berry mixture into the molds, filling them to 80%.
In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients: flour, oatmeal, salt, sugar, vanillin and cinnamon. Then add melted coconut oil and whipped protein there, mix everything well again and distribute evenly between all the molds, spreading the mixture on top of the berries.
Send to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes. The dough should take on a golden hue, and fruit juice may begin to emerge around the edges.
Allow the crumble to cool to room temperature and serve it with vanilla ice cream.
Apple crumble with cranberries
Ingredients
Fruits:
- 2 apples;
- 2 cups of cranberries (200 g)
- ⅓ cups of sugar;
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Dough:
- ⅓ cups of buckwheat flour;
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- zest of 1 lemon;
- ½ cup wheat flour;
- ⅓ a cup of almonds, almost flour;
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 7 ½ tablespoons diced butter.
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 170 degrees. Cut the apples into wedges and in a separate bowl, mix them with cranberries, sugar, lemon juice and starch. Lay out on pre-prepared molds.
In another bowl, combine the dry ingredients for the top layer (buckwheat, wheat, almond flour, sugar, lemon zest, chopped walnuts) and then add the butter. Use your hands to mix the dry mass with the oil so that you get crumbs that stick together when squeezed with your fingers.
Distribute the dough evenly between the tins and place in the oven for about 30 minutes. The dough should begin to golden, and the juice from cranberries and apples will begin to appear on the surface.
Take the molds out of the oven, let the crumble cool to room temperature and serve.
