Grandma's Crostata with Fruit

8

15 mins

A lighter take on a classic Italian crostata: a nutty, golden base topped with creamy vanilla yoghurt and juicy fruit. It looks fancy, but it’s surprisingly easy!

Ingredients

For the crostata base:

  • 180 g wholewheat flour (or almond flour) 
  • 40 g oats
  • 2 eggs (or vegan egg substitute using 2 tbsp flaxseed or chia seed mixed with 6 tbsp water - leave to sit for 5 minutes)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 30 ml milk of choice
  • Zest of ½ lemon
  • 1 pinch salt

For the filling:

  • 350 g 0% Greek yoghurt (or vegan alternative) 
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 350 g fresh berries (frozen ok but thaw and drain first) 
  • 30 g vanilla protein powder, optional
