Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple, drained Can also use fresh pineapple if preferred
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted Can substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free version
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon Optional, but adds warmth!
  • 1/2 cup coconut flakes Optional, but highly recommended for texture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Open the can of crushed pineapple and drain it well. Pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, oats, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir until well blended.
  4. Pour the melted butter over the dry mixture and gently fold it in until everything is just combined.
  5. Transfer half of the mixture into a greased 9×9-inch baking dish, pressing it down lightly. Spread the drained pineapple evenly on top, then cover it with the remaining crumble mixture.
Baking
  1. Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  2. Once baked, allow the dish to cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serving
  1. Enjoy it warm, perhaps with a scoop of halal vanilla ice cream or a dollop of yogurt for an added treat!
