Cinnamon Streusel
Recipe information
Yield
Makes about 120 g (2/3 cup)
Ingredients
40 g flour (1/4 cup)
20 g old-fashioned rolled oats (1/4 cup)
2 g ground cinnamon (1 teaspoon)
1 g kosher salt (1/4 teaspoon)
30 g light brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
25 g butter, melted (2 tablespoons)
0.5 g vanilla extract (1/8 teaspoon)
Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar with a spoon or spatula until the dry ingredients are incorporated. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla and toss the mixture until almond-size dark oat clusters form.
Step 2
If you’re making the pie the same day, the streusel can wait out on the counter. If you’re making the streusel in advance, transfer it to an airtight container and store in the fridge or freezer for up to 2 weeks.
