Variations & Tips

  • Skip the raisins if you’re not a fan.
  • Add chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
  • Use maple syrup instead of honey.
  • Make it gluten-free with certified GF oats.
  • Make it dairy-free by swapping butter for coconut oil or vegan butter.
  • For a similar dessert with a tangy edge, try my Apple Cranberry Crumble You can swap in pears, strawberries, peaches or berries. I also have a Peach Blueberry Crisp, Triple Berry Crisp, Strawberry Rhubarb Crisp and Oat-Free Strawberry Crisp you might love.

The classic way is warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Other options:
