Berry Oat Breakfast Crumble (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Oatmeal Crumble

01 - 1/3 cup organic old fashioned oats
02 - 3 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
03 - Chopped pecans or other nuts, to taste
04 - 2 tablespoons almond butter
05 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup
06 - 2-4 tablespoons milk of choice
07 - 1/3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - Pinch of sea salt

→ Berries

10 - 3/4 cup fresh or frozen mixed berries
11 - 1 tablespoon chia seeds

→ Topping

12 - 1/3 cup coconut yogurt or Greek yogurt

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
02 - In a medium bowl, combine all crumble ingredients. Use your hands to thoroughly incorporate ingredients. The mixture should be crumbly but not wet or sticky. If too dry, add an additional tablespoon of milk.
03 - Taste the crumble and if desired, add 1/2-1 tablespoon of monk fruit or coconut sugar for additional sweetness.
04 - Place berries in the bottom of a ramekin and sprinkle with chia seeds, tossing to combine.
05 - Spread the oat mixture evenly over the berry layer.
06 - Bake for 15-20 minutes until the crumble is golden and toasted.
07 - Remove from oven, top with coconut or Greek yogurt and serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Plant-based pea protein works best in this recipe. Whey or bone broth proteins may require less milk.
02 - For a nut-free option, substitute 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil for the almond butter, adding extra milk if the mixture becomes too dry.
03 - The ideal crumble texture should hold together slightly without being wet or sticky.
