This recipe rules. There’s a few reasons why it rules.

1. It’s really cheap.
2. You can customize it to add any fruit you like.
3. You can customize it to add anything to the crumble.
4. It’s really, really easily vegan. Not many carnists out there will recognise that it’s vegan.

I usually love to stick to recipes. I love to follow measurements because I feel like there’s very little room to make mistake. You really will struggle to make mistakes with this recipe, despite the fact that it’s not a recipe at all. Have fun mixing stuff together and making it all taste yum!

Nutritional information is a misleading term.  In practice, posting nutritional information is posting the amount of calories in particular food.  Nutrition, however, is not solely based on the amount of calories in a certain food.  There are two essential modern approaches to nutrition: the caloric approach and the micronutrient approach.  Increasingly, the micronutrient approach, which takes into account the nutrients in a particular food, is coming into the forefront of the field of nutrition in the United States.  From the micronutrient perspective, listing the calories is no longer an adequate measure of health.
