Vegan Berry Crumble Bars

I baked these vegan fruity crumble bars a few weeks ago at uni and my friends absolutely loved them (and so did I)! So here is the recipe...

These fruity crumble bars are great for mid-morning or mid-afternoon snacking, maybe even with some yogurt and fresh fruit for breakfast, or with some ice cream or custard for dessert! The possibilities are endless haha but I can assure you that these bars are super delicious, cheap and easy to make. You will probably find most of the ingredients you need in your cupboards already.

- INGREDIENTS -

150g oats

180g plain flour

130g caster sugar

175g coconut oil (unsalted butter can be used for non-vegan bars)

Half a jar of raspberry jam

A packet of frozen berries (defrosted)

- METHOD -

1. Mix together the oats, flour and sugar in a large bowl.

2. Add the butter (or coconut oil) to the dried ingredients and using your fingertips create a breadcrumb-like mixture.

3. Grease a square tin and add baking parchment.

4. Add two-thirds of the mixture to the bottom of the tin and press down to create a base.

5. Spread a layer of jam on top of the base.

6. On top of the jam add your berries.

7. Sprinkle on top of your berries the remainder of your breadcrumb-like mixture.

8. Bake in the oven until golden.

9. Leave the tin to cool and then slice into squares.

10. Enjoy!
