Makes 12 slices
Ingredients
For the crumble base:
- 120g almond flour
- 120g oat flour (we just use blended oats)
- 60g rolled oats
- 50ml maple syrup
- 100g coconut oil (melted)
- A pinch of salt
For the fruit filling:
- 450g strawberries (diced)
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
- Juice of ½ a lemon
- 1 scoop Clear Whey Isolate (White Peach)
- 200ml water
Method
- Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, oat flour, oats, maple syrup, coconut oil, and salt until fully combined and the mixture becomes a crumbly dough.
- Reserve 3 large tablespoons of the mixture for later and transfer the rest to a lined 8x8” baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice to a pan and cook on medium-low heat for 2 minutes.
- In a shaker, mix up the Clear Whey Isolate and water, then add to the pan with the fruit. Bring everything to a low simmer and cook for 5 minutes until soft and the majority of liquid has evaporated, leaving a thick strawberry sauce.
- Add the strawberry sauce to the crumble base, spreading evenly, then top with the reserved crumble mixture. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the crumbs on top begin to turn golden.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely or your bars will be too crumbly to cut into slices (you may want to place in the fridge to speed up this process). Once completely cooled, slice into 12 slices and enjoy!
