Our Tips
Chef's tips for making this recipe
To maximize the crunchiness of your topping, consider using whole rolled oats instead of quick oats. They provide a more robust and satisfying texture. If you're a fan of spices, don't hesitate to add a pinch of ground ginger or a bit of lemon zest for a refreshing touch. Additionally, for those looking to reduce sugar, a drizzle of honey can be an interesting alternative to brown sugar.
