Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  • 8 small plums
  • 1 tbsp butter (margarine, low-fat butter, or nut butter)
  • 1/2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 pinch cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  1. Wash the plums, remove the stones, and cut them into small pieces.
  2. Add the prepared plums to a small oven-safe baking dish and spread them into an even layer.
  3. Add the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a small bowl.
  4. Add the butter, margarine, low-fat butter, or nut butter and maple syrup.
  5. Mix everything together until small crumble pieces start to form. Keep a few larger pieces instead of mixing the topping completely smooth.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the plums.
  7. Bake at 320°F (160°C) for about 15 minutes, or until the crumble is lightly golden and the plums underneath are soft and warm.
  8. Let the plum crumble cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Plums: If your plums are still quite firm after 15 minutes, bake for a few minutes longer.
Serving: Serve warm on its own or with Greek yogurt.
