Blackberry crumble bars recipe made healthy with freshly picked blackberries, oats,ground almonds, coconut oil and other good-for-you ingredients.
These blackberry crumble bars are gluten-free, vegan and have no eggs, dairy, refined flour or sugar. What they have is a delicious crust, a layer of blackberries and a crumbly oat topping.
These make a great little snack for when you're on the go and need something quick to grab and head out of the door. Look at those slices! Does it makes you hungry right now ?
To make it extra special don't forget to add a generous sprinkle of Snacking Essentials Almonds. I am their proud ambassador and recipe developer and can't recommend them enough.
I have made these crumble bars with blackberries, because I love eating seasonal. However, you can use any fresh or frozen fruit including blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or blackcurrant.
If you want to make these Blackberry crumble bars more decadent, I suggest adding a little bit of either blackberry or blackcurrant sugar-free jam on the top of the crust. Or if you have time make my homemade chia jam. Either way, I know you're going to LOVE them!
