Fruit crumbles are delicious in any season and can be made using any local, in-season fruits available to you. In the summer, we love using berries or peaches for a summer crisp, and for fall, stone fruits like plums are a favourite. Frozen fruits also work great to make for a cozy treat that’s just as delicious. However you choose to make it, this fruit crumble recipe with oats is super easy and adaptable to whatever you have on hand!

Ingredients

Fruit crumble

Crumble toppings

  • ¾ cup (128 g)
    vegan ice cream
  • 3 cups (330 g)
    roasted unsalted pecans, chopped (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Add the berries to oven-safe ramekins. If using larger berries, such as strawberries, first slice*.
  2. Combine the oats, melted coconut oil, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Spoon this over the fruit.
  3. Bake on the middle rack of the oven for 10 - 15 minutes, or until the juices are bubbly, the fruit is tender, and the oatmeal is golden.
  4. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes before serving. Add desired toppings, and enjoy!

Notes

  • Refined coconut oil is coconut oil that doesn't smell or taste like coconuts.
  • * We used top and bottom heating (not fan-assisted/convection). If swapping out the berries for apple or pear, cut the fruits into very small pieces. This helps ensure they fully cook by the time the crumble is golden.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a fruit crumble with frozen fruit?

You bet! This recipe actually uses frozen mixed berries, which work perfectly. Crumble is a super easy and adaptable recipe to use whatever fruit have on hand.

Can you make a fruit crumble ahead of time?

Yes, you can prep the fruit and oat topping separately and store them in the fridge. When you're ready, just assemble and bake. Once baked, you can store the crisp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days.

Can you freeze fruit crumble?

We haven’t tried it yet for this recipe, but once baked and cooled, you can likely freeze it. Just pop the crisp into an airtight container. When you’re ready to enjoy it again, reheat it in the oven or microwave for a warm, comforting treat.

Really easy to make, amazing to use leftover fruits or if you have to whip up something very quickly. I cooked it for half an hour.

Hello! I have some pears and peaches to use in this recipe as listed as a variation option... Do i need to peel these first or just chop/slice as is? Thanks!

Hey there, Rachael, we find the peels soften when baked so we keep them on - plus it provides an added boost of fibre! You can peel the fruits if desired though 🙂

This was lovely and so fruity. I had some chocolate granola to use of too. Will do this again. I love how you can just add additional ingredients (healthy) too!

We're so happy to hear it's being enjoyed, Clare, thank you!

Looking forward to making this with chopped frozen peaches and nectarines this week! For frozen fruit/berries, would you recommend baking them from frozen or defrosting first over a strainer to remove some of the excess juice? (I've seen some recipes call for this step, just wasn't sure :) )

Hi Claire, thanks for the lovely question! Frozen fruit will indeed have some extra moisture so defrosting first over a strainer is a good idea to remove some of the excess juice. Gently patting the water with a towel may help as well! We haven't had a chance to test it out, so do let us know how it goes if you give the frozen peaches and nectarines a try 😊

With a basket of peaches on my counter, I was looking for a healthier alternative to a normal peach crumble and found this recipe. It's super easy to make! Thanks so much for this recipe.

So glad you enjoyed the recipe, Jo :)

So excited to have found a way to feel like I am having dessert for breakfast. I am trying monk fruit sugar for this one and will be adding it to my coconut milk yogurt. Happy Summer!

Happy summer, Ashley! We hope you love the recipe :)
