Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups oat flour (gluten-free if required)
- 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if required)
- 3/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup desiccated coconut
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (gluten-free if required)
- 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 apple, grated (Granny Smith recommended)
- 2 tablespoons corn flour (cornstarch)
- 1 tablespoon sage, very finely sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) fan bake, and line an 18×27 cm (approximately 7×10.5 inches) slice tin with baking paper.
- If using frozen blackberries, place them in a bowl to thaw slightly while making the crumble.
- In a large bowl, mix all the crumble ingredients except the melted coconut oil.
- Gradually pour the melted coconut oil over the crumble mixture, mixing well until it’s moist and clumps together easily when squeezed.
- Set aside a heaped cup of the crumble mixture for the topping.
- Press the remaining crumble mixture evenly into the slice tin using the back of a spoon or a drinking glass.
- Sprinkle the corn flour over the blackberries and toss them gently; place the blackberries evenly on top of the crumble base.
- Spread the grated apple and finely sliced sage over the blackberries.
- Use the reserved crumble mixture as a topping, spreading it out evenly in rustic clumps.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until the topping is a deep golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool and set for 1-2 hours in the pan.
- Lift the uncut bars onto a chopping board using the baking paper and slice into even portions.
- Enjoy your delicious Blackberry, Sage, and Apple Oat Crumble Bars!
