red summer fruit, frozen

1 tsp

vanilla extract

1

lime

50 g

caster sugar

cornstarch

250 g

oats

250 g

all-purpose flour

Step by step

  1. This recipe makes 16 crumble bars.

  2. Mix the fruit, vanilla extract, lime zest, caster sugar and cornstarch and set aside for 5 minutes.

  3. Add the oats, flour, cane sugar, melted butter and salt to the bowl of a Stand Mixer fitted with the Paddle Attachment. Mix on speed 2 until small clumps form.

  4. Press 3/4 of the crumble dough into a lined or greased square baking tin. Spoon the fruit over the dough and spread evenly. Sprinkle the rest of the dough over the fruit.

  5. Bake for 45-60 minutes at 190°C until golden brown. Let cool off completely before cutting into squares. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  6. If you are using fresh strawberries, put them in the freezer for at least 4 hours. Freezing them prevents leaking of juices and ensures a crunchy bottom of the crumble bar.
