Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 6/200ºC/fan oven 180ºC.  Place the flour in a mixing bowl and rub in the Benecol® Buttery Spread until it resembles bread crumbs.  Stir in the oats, almonds and 25g of the sugar.

Tips

  • To freeze, place in a plastic bag and seal (Please refer to the manufacturers handbook). Defrost thoroughly before warming through in a warm oven.
  • Try adding a tsp of mixed spice to the crumble mixture or the finely grated zest of a lemon.
  • Many fruits can be used in crumbles – try to use something seasonal.
  • The crumble topping can be frozen before cooking, so make a double batch and freeze half.
