Description
A warm single-serve apple crumble with tender cinnamon apples and a crisp oat topping boosted with vanilla protein powder. It is a quick, cozy dessert that feels indulgent while offering extra protein.
Ingredients
1 small apple, peeled, cored, and thinly diced
1 tsp granulated sweetener
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3 tbsp rolled oats
3 tbsp vanilla protein powder
1 to 2 tsp granulated sweetener
1/3 tsp ground cinnamon
A pinch of salt
1 tsp coconut oil or melted butter
1 tsp milk, if needed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a small ramekin or baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
- In a small bowl, mix the diced apple with 1 teaspoon of sweetener and 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon until well coated.
- Transfer the apple mixture to the bottom of the prepared ramekin.
- In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, vanilla protein powder, additional sweetener, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the melted coconut oil or butter and stir until the mixture becomes crumbly. If the mixture seems too dry, add a small splash of milk to help it come together.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the topping is lightly golden and the apples are tender.
- Serve warm directly from the ramekin. Optionally top with a spoonful of yogurt.
Notes
Swap vanilla protein powder for cinnamon or unflavored protein powder for a slightly different flavor.
Add chopped walnuts or pecans to the topping for extra crunch.
Mix a handful of berries with the apples for added sweetness and variety.
Use certified gluten-free oats if a gluten-free option is needed.
Melted butter can replace coconut oil for a richer flavor.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Reheat in the microwave for 30–60 seconds or warm in the oven for a crisp topping.
