Baked Apple And Oat Crumble


This was my breakfast this morning, yum, right?

I've been trying to figure out how to use the bag of millet flour I bought a few months ago, and it just struck me that it would be a great substitute for flour in a crumble. For a first time user, I think it came out pretty good!


I started with half a cup of old fashioned oats and half a cup of millet flour.

 
Above is the nutritional value if you are interested.


Next I added about a teaspoon of cinnamon.


Then I added 3 heaping tablespoons of Organic Coconut Palm Sugar. I think it makes a good substitute for brown sugar. It's not going to caramelize like normal sugar, but I wasn't really going for that this morning anyway.

Go ahead and mix the ingredients together.


Finally, I added two tablespoons of shed spread to create the glue for the crumble. Just work it in until it looks like the photo below.


I peeled and sliced an apple in to wedges. Coated the bottom of a cast iron pan, and layered the apples on to the bottom. Dot some more butter over the apple slices, it'll help in the cooking process so that they don't dry out while baking.


Cover your apples with the oat crumble and bake at 350° for 30 minutes.

This is a before shot.


This is after. Visually, it's not all that different, but it's crispier like a crumble should be texture wise. Kinda like a soft granola.


This is the topping I made for it. Plain Greek yogurt, a heaping teaspoon of honey, a dash of cinnamon, and a tablespoon of peanut butter. I will be dipping some apples in that for a snack later, just so you know. I'm not sure where this has been all my freaking life, but I'm not letting this one go.


And this is it! Breakfast! Simple and filling!
