How is this single serve apple crumble high in protein?

An apple crumble that is high in protein?! How is this possible you may be asking!!?? Well, the answer is vegan protein powder! For this recipe I use Vega Vegan Vanilla Protein Powder. This protein powder is not typically my favorite as it is too sweet for my liking, however the sweetness is perfect for this recipe! Most of the crumble is made of protein powder so make sure to use a brand that you like and has a good amount of sweetness!

What makes this apple crumble healthier?

This high protein single serve apple crumble is much healthier than your typical apple crumble! This crumble is dairy free, refined sugar free, gluten free and vegan! This recipe uses maple syrup and protein powder for sweetness, eliminating the need for refined sugar! Typical apple crumble is usually loaded with sugar and butter, making this a much healthier alternative! This apple crumble is packed with plant protein helping to promote muscle growth! The almonds provide a healthy fat source and the oats provide a whole grain source of carbs, making it a well balanced meal!

Substitutions & Additions:

You can swap the apples for stewed berries by mixing berries and chia seeds in a pot and cooking for 5 minutes.
For a gluten free version make sure to get gluten free oats!
You can swap the almond flour for coconut flour.
Try using a sugar free sweetener like monkfruit sweetener in place of maple syrup.
Add a healthy custard on top by warming almond milk, vanilla, and maple syrup over a stove top then thickening with a cornstarch slurry!
If your protein powder is not very sweet, add some maple syrup to the crumble!

While the apples are cooking prepare the crumble by mixing all ingredients together in a small bowl. Add water in small amounts until the crumble starts to stick together.
Add the apples to a small baking dish, I used a 6" round dish, and top with your protein crumble.
