I bet this would be great with pears as well. If I’m trying to do no processed sugar, what could I use instead? I guess the sugar is needed for the proper texture of the crumb?
Hi Sara! Yes, I’m sure this crumble recipe would be awesome with pears as well! Coconut sugar is considered to be a non-refined sugar, but if you want to avoid sugar completely, I would suggest trying just a pinch of a pure monk fruit sweetener, like Organic Pure Monk. It’s a fine powder, 100% natural sweetener that has no affect on blood sugar. But I must warn you, it’s VERY sweet (like 200-300 times sweeter than sugar) so use just a tiny amount (about 1/8 teaspoon) and then taste it. It likely won’t be more, but you can always add more if needed. I hope that helps!
Life saver..delicious added carob powder to mine too
