Now this is a reason to get out of bed on a chilly autumn morning – dessert you can eat for breakfast! Although, you’ll probably want to switch the custard for yoghurt first thing in the morning. This crumble is refined sugar-free and sweetened with just a small amount of maple syrup and the natural sweetness of fruit.
What I love about a make-ahead breakfast like this is that although it takes around 20 minutes to prepare, you have breakfast ready for the week. You can eat it from the fridge but I like to rewarm and serve hot with Greek yoghurt. The seeds, nuts and yoghurt are a good source of protein to keep you feeling full all morning.
I adapted the recipe from My New Roots; you can read more about my favourite plant based cookbooks here:
