Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

The Crumble Ingredients
  • 1 ⅔ Cup almond flour
  • 1 C oats gluten free if you prefer/need
  • ½ C packed light brown sugar or coconut sugar *
  • 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 tbsp melted vegan butter or coconut oil or almond butter **
  • pinch of cardamom
Filling
  • 2 C cherry compote
Decoration
  • slivered almonds for decorating

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Prepare a square baking pan for the crumble - grease it or line with parchment paper.
  2. Mix all of the Crumble Ingredients together in a medium sized bowl. Mix until the ingredients are combined.
  3. Take 1 ⅔ C of the crumble and use that as the base. Pour into the baking pan and press down firmly so the base is smooth and evenly spread out.
  4. Scoop the cherry compote over the base.
  5. Sprinkle the remainder of the crumble mixture (approx 1 C) over the cherry compote.
  6. Sprinkle the slivered almonds over the crumble for a decoration.
  7. Bake the crumble for about 30 minutes or until the fruit is bubbling and the crumble has a golden coloured top.
  8. These Healthy Cherry Almond Vegan Crumble Bars are absolutely delicious enjoyed as is, or with a scoop of vegan vanilla ice cream, or vegan vanilla custard. Enjoy!!

Notes

*Use coconut sugar if you follow a refined sugar free diet.
**You can use almond butter to make the crumble healthier, but the crumble layer will be a bit more dense. Make sure it's not dry almond butter at the bottom of the jar because then the crumble can turn out to be a bit too dry. Adjust with oil/butter or water if needed.
