Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8x8 inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, chopped pecans, shredded coconut, and ground cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup until the sugar is mostly dissolved and the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly coated. The mixture should have a slightly crumbly texture that holds together when pressed.
- Transfer the crumble mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down gently to create a uniform layer.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let the crumble cool for 10 minutes. This will help it set and become more crisp.
- Serve warm as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, or enjoy on its own. Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, rolled oats and pure maple syrup make a significant difference in flavor.
- Toast your pecans and coconut briefly before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra crunch.
- Press the crumble mixture firmly into the baking dish to ensure it holds together when baked.
- Watch the crumble carefully during the last 5 minutes of baking to prevent burning.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute rolled oats with gluten-free oats.
- Experiment with adding a pinch of sea salt to intensify the sweet-savory balance.
- Serve warm for maximum flavor and textural enjoyment.
- Consider pairing with vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt for an extra luxurious dessert experience.
