Instructions
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. This will form the base for your crumble mixture, helping to bind all the ingredients together. -
Add the Fruit and Flavorings:
To the eggs, add the blueberries, blackberries, and pureed apples. Stir in the sugar substitute, apple pie spice, and unsweetened coconut. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined and evenly distributed. -
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients. This includes the oats, ground almonds, salt, extra apple pie spice, flax seed meal, whey protein powder, oat bran, and wheat bran. Make sure everything is well mixed to ensure an even distribution of flavors and textures. -
Whisk Together the Wet Ingredients:
In a small measuring cup, whisk together the canola oil and milk until the mixture becomes cloudy. This step helps to blend the wet ingredients together, creating a smooth consistency. -
Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Pour the oil and milk mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. This will create the crumble topping for your dessert, which should have a slightly wet and crumbly texture. -
Assemble the Crumble:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large baking dish, ideally a 9×13-inch deep dish, pour the berry and apple mixture. Spread it evenly in the dish. -
Top the Crumble:
Using a fork, gently spread the crumble mixture over the top of the fruit. Make sure the crumble covers the fruit mixture evenly, ensuring that every bite will have a delicious, crunchy topping. -
Bake the Crumble:
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the fruit is bubbly. The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so check the crumble after 30 minutes to ensure it’s golden and cooked through. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the crumble is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy it on its own or pair it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of sugar-free ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips for Making the Perfect Low-Carb Crumble:
- Substitute the Fruits: While blueberries and blackberries are ideal for this recipe due to their low carb content, you can also experiment with other berries like raspberries or strawberries.
- For a More Crispy Topping: You can add a few extra tablespoons of oats or ground almonds to the crumble topping if you prefer a crunchier texture.
- Make It Dairy-Free: Swap the milk for a non-dairy alternative such as almond milk or coconut milk, and use coconut oil in place of canola oil for a more tropical flavor.
- Sweetener Choices: If you prefer a different sugar substitute, feel free to use Stevia or Erythritol to suit your taste. Just keep in mind that different sweeteners may vary in sweetness intensity.
