Vegan fig and walnut crumble

This vegan fig and walnut crumble can be gluten-free too if appropriate oat and flour are used. Figs don’t release much juice during cooking, so we need to add some fruit juice  to the base-  such as cherry, cranberry, apple, prune juice - or compote, tinned fruit syrup would work too. ( I used prune juice). Serve it with vegan vanilla custard, yogurt or ice-cream. It’s a lovely dessert  for a relaxed Sunday lunch!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ripe figs
  • ½ cup fruit juice
  • 1 tsp cinnamon powder
  • 1 handful walnuts chopped
  • 1 Tbsp muscovado sugar
  • For the crumble
  • 1 cup gluten-free porridge oats

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  3. Put the flour, ground walnut, cinnamon and oat in a mixing bowl, then add the spread. Using your fingers, rub them together to make a breadcrumb texture. Add the sugar and combine.
  4. Sprinkle the mixture over the figs evenly, then press the mixture down with the base of a spoon.
  5. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  6. Serve with vegan vanilla custard or ice-cream.
