Instructions

Prepare oven and berry filling: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a bowl, combine the frozen mixed berries, fruit jam, and cornstarch. Stir gently until the berries are evenly coated, which will help thicken the filling as it bakes.
Make the crumble mixture: In a separate bowl, add the gluten-free rolled oats, protein powder, minced pecans, peanut butter, maple syrup, plant-based milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of kosher salt. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients come together in small clumps, forming the crumble topping.
Assemble the ramekins: Divide the berry mixture evenly between 2 to 3 small oven-safe ramekins. Then top each ramekin with an even layer of the crumble mixture, spreading it gently over the berries.
Bake the crumble: Arrange the ramekins on a baking tray and place in the oven. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the crumble topping turns crisp and golden brown.
Cool and serve: Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes until safe to handle. Serve warm, topped with some additional plant-based yogurt if desired, and enjoy your protein-packed breakfast crumble.

Notes

For added crunch, substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds.
If you prefer a sweeter crumble, increase maple syrup slightly or add another tablespoon of fruit jam.
This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people or for meal prep.
Use plant-based milk options such as almond, oat, or soy milk depending on preference.
The protein powder can be whey or a plant-based variety, depending on dietary needs.
