I made these vegan raspberry crumble bars for my sister’s summer party last month. The raspberries made the bars jammy, and she said they were the prettiest dessert at the party.
This recipe is simple and perfect for those looking for a delicious vegan dessert. With an emphasis on fresh ingredients and easy preparation, these bars are a fantastic way to indulge in sweet flavors while keeping it plant-based.
Delicious Vegan Raspberry Crumble Bars
The bars consist of a sweet crumbly topping that complements the tartness of fresh raspberries. This straightforward recipe takes about 45 minutes from start to finish and yields 9 bars, making it an ideal option for sharing or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½(or frozen, thawed)
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for the raspberry filling)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9×9-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Make the Crumble Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, and salt. Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract, mixing until the dough forms coarse crumbs.
- Press the Base: Take about two-thirds of the crumble mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Prepare the Raspberry Filling: In another bowl, combine the raspberries, maple syrup, and cornstarch (if using). Gently mix until combined, then pour the raspberry mixture over the pressed crust.
- Top with Remaining Crumble: Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture evenly over the raspberry filling.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the raspberry filling is bubbling.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Once cooled, slice into squares and serve.
