Raspberry crumble bars

These are such a delicious treat!

Ingredients

250g raspberries
1 tbsp water
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 tbsp honey (optional and use less if your raspberries are sweet)
265g oat flour (oats blended in the blender)
1/2 tsp baking soda
80g salted butter, cold and cut into cubes
1 tbsp vanilla extract
4 tbsp honey or maple syrup
50ml hot water

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180c.

Step 2

In a small pan, mix together raspberries, water and chia seeds over low heat.

Step 3

Stir to combine and prevent sticking, and allow to heat until the raspberries have broken down and the chia seeds have grown to thicken the mix. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Add the honey if using and stir to combine.

Step 5

In a bowl, mix the oat flour and baking soda.

Step 6

Add the butter and use your fingertips to combine the butter and flour into a crumb mixture.

Step 7

Add the vanilla and honey. Mix to combine and then add the water and mix again. You should have a mixture that can be formed into a ball. If not, add more water.

Step 8

Grease a 9 x 9 inch brownie pan.

Step 9

Add 3/4 of the flour mixture and use your hands to stretch it out to form a thin base.

Step 10

Bake in the oven for 7 minutes.

Step 11

Then add the raspberry mixture on top and then sprinkle clumps of the remaining oat mixture over that.

Step 12

Bake for about 15 min.
