    This lightly spiced healthy vegan plum crumble is a delicious breakfast dish, full of fibre and protein, perfect to kick start your day.  You will love how easy it is to make!

    I recently bought plums with a label that said: 'tree ripened' and 'naturally ripened for extra sweetness'.  And there was me thinking (naively as it turns out) that fruit which grows on trees also ripens on trees.  Where else?  Well, I'd rather not know actually.  I suppose as long as the label doesn't say 'tree grown' it's all ok:)

    Healthy plum crumble

    This 'tree ripening' method seems to work well as these plums were sweet and delicious indeed. Which is great for this healthy plum crumble recipe, which, as a result, didn't require much sugar (especially as it's a breakfast recipe).  I used coconut oil instead of butter and whole wheat flour instead of plain white flour, so it's vegan as well as nutritious.

    As this is a breakfast crumble recipe I combined the flour with oats. I also added a selection of seeds to my vegan crumble topping for extra goodness and flavour.  The seeds complement the mild coconut flavour of this crumble fantastically!

    How to make vegan plum crisp: step-by-step

    This breakfast crisp recipe is incredibly easy to throw together.

    1. Once you've pitted the plums place them in your dish and add the powdered sugar and flour.

    3. Make the crumble topping by combining all the dry ingredients and cutting the coconut oil into the mixture until crumbles start forming.

    4. Rub the ingredients together with your fingertips and between palms of your hands until crumbly.  Scatter the mixture over the plums and pop in a preheated oven (200 C) for about 30 minutes until lightly browned and crispy.

    Top tips

    • This easy plum crisp is highly adaptable and you can experiment with the ingredients to suit your preference.  For example you could use only one type of seeds or add some crushed nuts into the topping mixture.
    • I used wholewheat flour but you could swap that for plain flour if you prefer.
    • You could also add a bit of nutmeg or use mixed spice, instead of just the cinnamon and ginger.
    • Serve with a dollop of yogurt or simply on its own.  It's best eaten hot or at least warm.
