'Just-Like-Apple' (Courgette/Zucchini) Crumble Coffee Cake : Low Carb Recipe

 

I spotted this recipe at 'Low Carb Skipton', read more about them here, and thought it one to share.

This makes a huge tray bake, so feel free to halve the recipe and use a smaller tin (but it does freeze very well if you do make a big one)…
Store at room temperature for 1 day, in the fridge for up to 5 days, or slice and freeze for up to 3 months.

The recipe below makes 16 servings, hands-on time is 15 minutes and the overall time is 45 minutes.
If whole recipe is used and divided into 16 slices, the carb count per slice is 7g carbs.

Courgettes/Zucchini have a unique flavor that is mild but with a subtle sweetness and a spongy texture which makes it perfect for absorbing the flavours it is cooked with. The flavour can change too, depending on how it is prepared.
