Today I have an amazing soft and sweet and hearty and gooey and… well, all around delicious berry crumble bar for you. But it’s really just a big tease, because I don’t have the recipe for you!
I am guest posting for my friend Mary Frances while she is on vacation, and I sent the recipe to her, so you’ll have to go check it out over on The Sweet {Tooth} Life!

Berry Crumble Bars
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1/4 cup vegan butter + 1/4 cup coconut oil (or 1/2 cup of one or the other), melted
- 1/4 cup honey, maple syrup or agave
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar (optional, or to taste – I didn’t use any in this layer)
- 1 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1/2 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch salt
For the filling:
- 3/4 cup mixed berry jam
- 5 large strawberries, sliced
For the crumble:
- 3 Tablespoons melted vegan butter or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup gluten-free oat flour
- 1/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 2 Tablespoons coconut sugar (more to taste)
- Pinch Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Cooking Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat an 8″x8″ pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Make the base by mixing all ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl. Press into an even layer in the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.
- While the base is cooking, make the crumble by thoroughly combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.
- When the base is done baking, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly (10 minutes or more). Spread the jam in a single layer on top of the crust, and arrange the strawberry slices evenly over the top of the jam.
- Use your fingers to distribute the crumble in little blobs evenly across the top.
- Bake for 20 minutes, and allow to cool before cutting and serving.
- Store the leftover, with wax paper between layers, in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to three months.
Yield: Makes 9 bars, or more or less depending on how to cut them.
