Description
A single-serve, protein-rich apple dessert that comes together in minutes. Warm, spiced apple pieces topped with a nutty, protein-fortified crumble — clean ingredients, minimal fuss.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 small apple, cut into small cubes
- 2 tbsp rolled oats
- 1 tbsp almond flour
- 1 scoop vanilla protein powder or 3 tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1–2 tsp maple syrup (or your preferred liquid sweetener)
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tsp almond milk or water (to moisten the topping)
Instructions
- Toss the apple cubes in a microwave-safe mug with the cinnamon and maple syrup so each piece is lightly coated.
- (Optional) Heat the mug for 30–45 seconds to soften the apple before adding the crumble.
- In a small bowl, stir together the oats, almond flour, protein powder (or Greek yogurt), cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Add the almond milk or water a little at a time until the mixture holds together like coarse crumbs.
- Scatter the topping over the apples — do not compress it.
- Microwave on high for about 60–90 seconds, or until the fruit is bubbling and the topping feels set. Cooking time will vary by microwave.
- Let the mug sit for a minute to cool and firm up slightly, then enjoy straight from the mug.
Notes
Optional: Finish with a spoonful of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of nut butter, or a few chopped nuts for extra texture.
