These Blackberry Oat Crumb Bars are a delightful combination of sweet, tart blackberries nestled between layers of hearty oat crumble. They're gluten-free and vegan, making them a perfect treat for anyone with dietary restrictions. Enjoy them as a snack, dessert, or even breakfast!

Ingredients: 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats. 1 cup almond flour. 1/2 cup coconut sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted. 2 cups fresh blackberries. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 tablespoon cornstarch.

Instructions: Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C. Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving two sides of the paper hanging over the edges. Grease the pan. Rolling oats, almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt should all be mixed together in a bowl. Add the vegan butter that has been melted and mix it in well. Make a flat layer with two-thirds of the oat mixture in the bottom of the baking pan that has been prepared. The last third should be saved for the crumble topping. Toss the blackberries, maple syrup, and cornstarch together gently in a different bowl until the berries are all covered. Place the blackberry mixture on top of the oatmeal in the baking pan. Spread the oat mixture you saved out evenly over the blackberries to make a crumble topping. Place in an oven that has already been heated and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blackberry filling starts to bubble. Take it out of the oven and put a wire rack in the pan so it can cool all the way down. After the bars have cooled, use the extra parchment paper to lift them out of the pan. Serve it cut up into squares.
