Most traditional crumble recipes simply combine flour, sugar and lots of fat – mostly butter. Vegan recipes tend to go for the simple alternative and use heavily processed vegan butter, margarine or coconut fat. I prefer to take a different route and combine cashew butter with a bit of unprocessed rapeseed oil in my mixture. For added depth of flavor and crispiness, I include some ground hazelnuts and oat flakes with my flour…and of course a good brown sugar and plenty of spices!
Try serving with a good spoonful of vanilla cashew cream…or if you’re feeling lazy, just a bit of soy yogurt!
