Ingredients of Plum Crumble Bars

Plum crumble bars only take 9 ingredients and a little time to make.

Gluten-Free oat flakes are the crust and crumb base. Instant or old-fashioned flakes will do.
Almond flour is easy to make at home. To do this, you need to grind peeled almonds in a blender or coffee grinder. In a coffee grinder, flour turns out faster and finer.
Refined coconut oil – can be substituted with any vegetable oil. I like refined oil more. It does not add any additional flavor to the dessert.
Honey as a sweetener – you can use some kind of syrup.
Some sea salt (optional)
Pitted and skinless plums – If there are no plums, use a different fruit.
Vanilla extract for aroma.
Cornstarch is a thickener in plum filling.
Coconut sugar is a sweetener for plums.

We have prepared the ingredients, now we are starting to prepare the bars.

How to make Vegan Bars

Turn on the oven at 180 ° C / 350 ° F. Then put the parchment in a 20 x 20 cm mold on the bottom and walls. While the oven is heating, prepare the crust and crumb dough.

To do this, grind the oatmeal in a blender or coffee grinder. I like to grind the cereal to a flour condition. In this case, the texture of the bars is more tender. Mix the crushed flakes in a bowl with almond flour and salt.

Then add honey, softened or melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Mix everything until smooth. The dough should crumble . If it’s damp and sticky, add a little flour.

Separate 1/3 of the dough and refrigerate. We use this part of the test for the crumb. Make a crust from the rest of the dough. Distribute the remaining dough over the mold. Let’s put the mold aside for now and start with the plum filling.

Peel the plums and cut them into pieces of about 1 cm. Then add cornstarch and coconut sugar to the plums. And mix everything. Spread the plum mass evenly on the crust.

Sprinkle the plum filling on top with crumb dough. We had it in the refrigerator. Spread the dough in small pieces over the entire surface.

We put the form in the oven for 30 minutes. We bake the bars until golden brown. Cool the finished dessert to room temperature and cut into square pieces.

Store vegan plum crumble bars in a sealed container on the counter for up to three days or refrigerated for up to seven days. Although they did not last three days with us. The bars ran out quickly.
