Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What can I use instead of nuts in the streusel topping?
A: If you don’t have any nuts on hand, then you can simply omit this ingredient from the topping. Other options could include chopped dates, raisins, cranberries, or even some Chocolate chips. Alternatively, you can simply add more oats or additional flour to the topping.

Q: Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
A: Yes, definitely! Simply prepare the recipe as directed, then refrigerate your filled ramekins without baking. When you’re ready to bake the crumble, take it out of the refrigerator and bake as normal, however you may need to add a few minutes to the baking time.

Q: Is there a way to make this dessert healthier?
A: If you want to make the recipe a bit healthier you can use whole wheat flour in the streusel topping instead of all-purpose flour. Additionally, you can use maple syrup in place of the granulated sugar in the filling, or try adding some ground spice such as nutmeg or allspice to the crumble too.
