Ingredients
For the California Prune filling
- 8 oz. California Prunes, pitted and dried
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
For the oatmeal crumb topping
- 1 1/2 cups quick cook oatmeal, dry
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed (or coconut sugar)
- 1 1/2 ticks butter, unsalted and softened (12 Tbsp.)
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350° F. Spray an 8x8 inch baking pan with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
- Remove butter from fridge to soften.
- Make the prune filling: in a food processor, process 8 oz. of California Prunes (chop them into smaller pieces if needed) with ¼ cup lemon juice, cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Process for 1-2 minutes or until prunes are blended well into a paste.
- Make the oatmeal crumb mixture next: In a medium sized bowl, combine the dry ingredients: oats, flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- With clean hands, mix softened butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly. Press half of the oatmeal mixture down into the pan to crease the crust layer.
- Evenly spread the prune mixture on top.
- Then sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture on top and press lightly into the prune paste.
- Bake for 35 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool completely and then cut into squares.
