5 Minute Vegan Streusel Topping

Author - Gena Hamshaw
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Yields: 2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup + 2 tablespoons unbleached, all-purpose flour (135g)
  • 2/3 cup light or dark brown sugar (130g; you can also use cane sugar or coconut sugar)
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
  • 6 tablespoons vegan butter (85g)

Instructions

  • In a medium large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Melt the vegan butter in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave it in short (15-second) intervals to melt it.
  • Pour the melted butter into the center of your dry ingredients. Use two forks to gently mix the butter into the flour mixture, forming pea sized crumbs and some smaller crumbs as you go. Your aim is for there to be no remaining dry flour and for the mixture to be mostly pea-sized crumbs, mixed with some smaller and some larger crumbs.
  • Store the streusel in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 weeks. Alternatively, use it right away.
