This Plum and Appled Crumble is a staple in our home (and it’s a perfect option for those looking for a gluten-free recipe).\u00a0 Making the humble crumble is a fabulous way to use up fruit that may be lying around, and the great thing about crumble is, you can easily spruce it up and add loads of nutrition to it.<\/p>\n

This recipe is packed full of fibre from the fruit, linseeds (also called flaxseeds) and nuts which helps keep our digestive system working well and feeds our good gut bacteria.\u00a0By using almond meal instead of plain white flour for the crumble, we have added vitamin E which is an antioxidant (you could simple use plain flour if you wish) and protein. The wonderful thing about almonds is the monounsaturated oils they contain, which have proven to protect our heart against heart disease.<\/p>\n

Macadamia nuts are a favourite of ours due to their ‘buttery texture’. Like almonds, they are also high in protein, fibre,\u00a0antioxidants, potassium and contain the highest levels of the heart-healthy monounsaturated fats of all nuts.<\/p>\n

Adding coconut also increases the fibre in the dish and delivers a beautiful flavour.<\/p>\n

You can go crazy with this recipe. Swap and change nuts, use your favourite fruit (strawberries, pear, peaches, and apples are also fabulous) and experiment with different combo’s. You don’t have pistachio’s? No problem, just substitute with a different nut.<\/p>\n
