Lemon blueberry protein crumble FAQ:

What size baking dish should I use for this recipe?

A small baking dish, ideally around 8x8 inches or similar, works well for this recipe. This size helps the crumble cook evenly and achieve the right consistency.

How do I know when the lemon blueberry protein crumble is done baking?

The crumble is done when the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbling slightly. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Can I substitute the whey protein powder in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute whey protein powder with plant-based protein powder or omit it altogether for a lower protein option. Keep in mind that omitting it might alter the texture of the topping.

How should I store leftovers of the crumble?

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. However, there may be extra moisture, so you might need to bake it a bit longer to ensure the topping remains crisp.

Cooking Tips:

- Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture, but frozen blueberries can work in a pinch.

- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less sugar or even substituting it with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.

- For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats.

- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to enhance their flavor and crunchiness.

- Serve the crumble warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of protein ice cream for an extra protein boost.
