Raspberry Crumble Bars

Prep Time 25 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 16 people

Ingredients

For the Crust and Topping

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup grass-fed butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Jam

  • 2 cups frozen raspberries
  • 1/2 lemon
  • 2 tsp coconut sugar
  • 2 tsp arrowroot starch

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
  • Mix together dry ingredients for base and topping.
  • Melt butter in the microwave, about 30-60 second. 
  • Stir vanilla extract into butter and then pour mixture into dry ingredients. Mix well, noting that it will be crumbly.
  • Press ? of the crust/topping mixture into an 8x8” baking dish. It should come together when pressed, but if not, add 1 tbsp water or almond milk to form dough better.
  • Bake crust for 10 minutes.
  • While crust is baking, add raspberries, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a saucepan over medium heat and cook until raspberries are defrosted.
  • Once defrosted, add in coconut sugar and arrowroot starch. Cook for 5-10 minutes or until mixture has thickened, stirring constantly. 
  • Pour jam over baked crust. Add rest of crust/topping mixture on top in large crumbs. 
  • Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • For best results, let cool and place in the fridge for an hour or so before cutting.
