Ingredients

240 g rolled oats 3 cups (I used gluten-free)
2 tbsp maple syrup
75 g unsalted butter (I use vegan)

Instructions

To a blender add 160g (⅔ of the oats) and blend into a flour (takes 30 seconds).
Add this oat flour to a separate large mixing bowl along with the leftover 80g of whole oats, butter, maple syrup and mix together with your hands.
Top it on your crumble of choice and bake. I recommended baking at 180C/360F for around 25 minutes for the optimal oat crumble topping.

Tip 1: If you are going to use this easy crumble topping on something that isn’t going to be baked, make sure you bake it on its own first.

Tip 2: Don’t overmix this topping. Make sure it stays crumbly rather than becoming like dough.

Tip 3: If you want to level up a box mix, this crumble topping is your answer! Just sprinkle it on top of whatever muffins, cakes, or sweet breads you are making and be ready to impress your friends and family!
