Ingredients

  

Strawberry Jam

• 2 cup strawberries* fresh or frozen
• 1/2 lemon juiced
• 1 tbsp syrup or honey
• 1 tbsp arrowroot powder

Crumble

• 1 cup gluten-free oats
• 1 cup almond flour
• 5 tbsp almond butter
• 5 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Add strawberries, maple syrup, and juice from 1⁄2 a lemon to a small saucepan over medium heat. The strawberries will take about five minutes to break down. (You can help break down the strawberries by stirring with a spoon or fork.)
• Lower heat and mix in 1 tbsp arrowroot powder to thicken the jam.
• Set the jam aside and get a bowl to mix the ingredients for the crumble.
• Add all crumble ingredients to a bowl and mix until thoroughly combined.
• Press 2⁄3 of the crumble dough into an 8×8 baking pan lined with parchment paper.
• Spread a thick layer of the strawberry jam evenly over the dough, then crumble the rest of the dough on top.
• Bake strawberry crumble bars for about 20 minutes—the crumble will start to turn golden brown.
• Let cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove the parchment paper from the pan and let cool completely before slicing.
