Pear and berry nutty oat crumble recipe

Method

1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Gently heat the honey and oil for the crumble topping in a small pan until warm and smooth, stirring to combine. Remove from the heat and set aside.
2. Put the rest of the ingredients for the crumble topping in a large bowl with a pinch of salt. Tip in the oil and honey mix; stir well to coat. Spread onto a lined baking tray and bake for 8-10 mins, stirring halfway, until pale golden.
3. Meanwhile, put the berries, 3 tbsp reserved pear juice and the vanilla (if using) in a large saucepan. Cook over a medium heat for 5 mins until beginning to simmer. Add the pears, stir in the cornfour mixture and cook for another 1-2 mins until thickened.
4. Transfer to a baking dish (about 2ltrs), scatter over the crumble topping and return to the oven for 5 mins until bubbling and golden. Serve warm or cold. Leftovers will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.

• Tip: Swap oat bran for another 75g oats – blitz in a food processor before using. Switch the honey for maple syrup to make it vegan.
