These Raspberry Crumble Bars are delicious and straightforward to make. Fruity, naturally sweetened with honey, these gluten-free crumble bars are healthy, so you can feel good about eating them anytime. Plus, they are vegetarian-friendly.
The base of these bars is made with a few simple ingredients: oats, almonds, baking powder, butter, honey, and a pinch of cinnamon and salt. You don’t need to pre-bake the bottom crust before adding the raspberry filling. To make the filling, combine the fresh raspberries, vanilla, lemon zest, honey, and salt in a small saucepan. Once heated, add the tapioca flour and cook for another minute or two until thickened. Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the bottom crust, then sprinkle the remaining dough over the berries. Bake until golden brown and bubbling. Cool completely before cutting into bars. Enjoy!
To make the Raspberry Crumble Bars, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse together 2 ½ cups oats and ½ cup almonds into a flour.
Transfer the oat and almond mixture to a large bowl. Add the remaining ½ cup oats, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt and stir to combine.
Add ½ cup cold butter and ⅓ cup honey. Using a wooden spoon or spatula incorporate it into the dry mixture until well combined and the dough is sticky.
Add two-thirds of the dough to the prepared baking pan and press it firmly into the bottom. Set aside.
In a small pot on medium heat, add 2 ½ cups raspberries, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, zest of a lemon, a pinch of salt, and 2 tablespoons honey. Heat gently for 3-4 minutes, and use a wooden spoon to break up the raspberries, leaving some chunks.
Add 1 tablespoon tapioca, and heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture has thickened, about 2 minutes.
Transfer the raspberry mixture to the baking pan and use a spatula to spread it evenly across the base.
Sprinkle the remaining oat mixture evenly over the raspberry filling.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbling and the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
