Apple & plum crumble

Average rating:

Rather than make a traditional crumble mixture using flour, here oats are used as a topping. Oats are an excellent source of soluble fibre, which helps to reduce blood cholesterol levels, and as the energy from them is released slowly, you'll feel full for longer.

Serves: 4
Cooking time: 40 mins
Skill level: Easy peasy
Costs: Cheap as chips

Ingredients

For a crunchier topping, use jumbo rolled oats or 'traditional'-style oats, which are larger than normal rolled oats.
