This Tropical Crumble is a real taste of summer! With fresh, juicy mango and pineapple baked until soft topped with a crunchy crumble, this brings back so many childhood memories and it’s perfect for summer evenings.
If you’ve never tried crumble made with rolled oats, you will be pleasantly surprised: makes a slimming friendly crumble that’s just as good as the full fat version. The extra fibre in the oats means it will fill you up for longer, too. We’ve added dessicated coconut for even more texture and holiday vibes.
You could serve this crumble on its own with the warm fruit juices, but our favourite is a dollop of hot custard on top. Warming, fruity, delicious!
What diets is this Tropical Crumble suitable for?
This Tropical Crumble recipe is suitable for vegetarian diets.
It can be made gluten free as long as you swap out the following ingredients for gluten free versions;
- Rolled oats
- Plain flour
Please make sure to double or triple check all of your ingredients if you’re cooking for people with allergies.
Do you need any special ingredients to make Tropical Crumble?
Ripe pineapple and mango is best as it’s naturally sweet and juicy, but if your fruit isn’t quite ripe, you can add a little sweetener before cooking. We’ve used ramekin dishes to serve this crumble in individual portions. It makes them so easy to cook and serve in one!

To prepare the pineapple
Step 1
Lay the pineapple on its side on a large chopping board. Using a large, sharp knife, cut off the leafy end and discard.
Step 2
Cut off the other end and discard. Stand the pineapple upright and thinly slice off the skin from the sides, starting at the top and carefully cutting downwards. Discard the skin.
Step 3
Using a small sharp knife, cut away any black ‘eyes’ and discard.
Step 4
Cut the pineapple into quarters lengthways. Cut away the hard core along the length of each quarter and discard.
Step 5
Slice across the width of the pineapple quarters to make very thin slices, about 3 cm in length. Place in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
To prepare the mango
Step 6
Lay the mango on the chopping board. Slice off both sides of the mango along its length, either side of the large flat stone in the centre. The stone is usually about 2 – 3 cm wide, so you will need to cut either side of that.
Step 7
Cut away the remaining strip of flesh around the stone, cut off the skin, and cut the flesh into 1 cm pieces. Discard the stone. Place the mango pieces in the bowl with the pineapple.
Step 8
Take the two mango sides, and using a small sharp knife, carefully cut a ‘criss cross’ pattern into the mango, the cuts should be about 1 cm apart. Cut just down to the skin but take care not to cut into the skin itself.
Step 9
Turn each mango half ‘inside out’, to form a ‘hedgehog’ effect. Cut the mango flesh away from the skin. You should have pieces about 1 cm in size. Place in the bowl with the pineapple.
Step 10
Add the cinnamon, lime juice and zest to the bowl of fruit and stir in until well combined and set aside.
Step 11
Preheat the oven to 170ºC.
To make the crumble
Step 12
To make the crumble: Place all of the ingredients for the crumble in a small mixing bowl. Rub the reduced fat spread into the dry ingredients until it forms a crumbly mixture.
Step 13
Divide the fruit mixture between four, 300 ml large ramekin dishes, including any fruit juices from the bottom of the bowl.
Step 14
Divide the crumble mixture between the four dishes, spreading lightly over the fruit. Place on a baking tray.
Step 15
Place in the preheated oven for 25 – 30 minutes, until the fruit is tender and the crumble is golden brown. Serve hot or warm with custard.
