Apple Crumble Baked Oats

Who says crumble is a dessert-only situation? This Apple Crumble Baked Oats recipe from @itschenoahill takes everything you love about warm apple crumble (the soft spiced fruit, the golden top, the "just one more spoonful" energy) and turns it into a proper high-protein breakfast you can actually meal prep. Mashed banana and oats bake down into a soft, custardy base, cinnamon and nutmeg do the heavy lifting on flavour, and a scattering of granola and flaked almonds goes golden and crunchy on top. It's the kind of tray-bake that makes your kitchen smell like a Sunday even on a Tuesday.

The bit doing the quiet work in the background is Nu Harvest Caramel Biscuit Plant Protein, made with a pea and faba bean protein blend. Protein is one of your essential macronutrients, and it's doing more than most people give it credit for: building and repairing the muscle you use every single day, and playing a starring role in creating the enzymes and hormones that keep everything ticking along behind the scenes.

And this one isn't reserved for the gym crowd. It's for absolutely everyone, whether you trained this morning or you're still deciding if today's a rest day. It's a genuine option for plant-based eaters who've had to say goodbye to whey, and for coeliacs or anyone managing gluten sensitivities, it's a protein source you can actually trust without the guessing game.

Best of all, this one's built for busy mornings. Bake it once, slice it up, and you've got breakfast sorted for the whole week: cold from the fridge with a dollop of yoghurt, or warmed through for a minute if you're after something cosier. Let's get into it.

@itschenoahill says it's best enjoyed chilled the next day with a dollop of yoghurt on top, and honestly, we're not going to argue with that. However you eat it, this Apple Crumble Baked Oats recipe turns a busy-morning problem into a genuinely good breakfast, thanks to a pea and faba bean protein blend from Nu Harvest Caramel Biscuit Plant Protein doing the heavy lifting alongside real, whole ingredients. Meal prep on Sunday, thank yourself on Wednesday.
