It’s a really guilt-free dessert, too, very low in calories so it can become a guilt-free staple in your household.

A calorie-light dessert like this after a meal is a nice way to satisfy your tummy and signal to it that the meal is over.

Recipe notes

We use honey as the sweetener as it helps to keep the crumble tender, but you can try another sweetener of your choice, or omit.

The main ingredients

To bind the oats into a crumble, you can use fat-free sour cream, fat-free yoghurt, or a calorie-reduced margarine.

Your crumble should look like this. You really don’t want to put too much fat or dairy into it, as it makes it hard to scatter, and it will cook up too hard.
