Oops… I Missed a Day, but I Brought Crumble!

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Coucou!

Life got busy, the espresso wore off, and poof! No newsletter. But hey, I’m human (a mom of two humans, actually), and today I come bearing something better than punctuality: CRUMBLES.

Not just any crumble recipes. Some French-ish, oat-free, delightfully different kind of crumbles. No oats were harmed in the making of these recipes because I like to keep things tasty and buttery.

Here’s a cozy roundup of my favorite crumble creations for every kind of craving:

​

Mini Apple Strawberry Almond Crumble

Mini but mighty, these are crisp-topped, almond-kissed, and just the right size when you want something warm and sweet but not a sugar bomb. Make it.

Apple Crumble Tart

Think tart meets crumble—rustic, comforting, and a little more elegant than your typical apple dessert. Best served with a dollop of whipped cream... or ice cream if you’ve had a day. Get addicted too!​

Summery Berry Crumble

A late-summer hug in dessert form. This one bursts with juicy berries and is the perfect excuse to pretend it’s still August—even if it’s socks-weather outside. Make it!​

Easy Strawberry Crumble Bars

Buttery delicious crust with a layer of fresh strawberries topped with some crunchy crumble, the recipe of this strawberry crumble bar is so scrumptious. Try it!​

​

Thanks for sticking with me even when I'm late!

Whether you're planning a (long for Canadian) weekend dessert or need a little weekday comfort, I hope one of these finds its way to your table soon.

A bientôt,
