Ingredients

Base/Crumble:
  • 1.5 cup rolled oats (150g)
  • 1 cup almond flour (112g)
  • 1/2 cup Truvia brown sugar or regular brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (56g) diced
Strawberry Jam Layer:
  • 3 cups fresh strawberries (360g) chopped
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (60g)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest of one lemon optional
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam (76g)
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp water
For Serving:
  • vanilla ice cream optional but HIGHLY recommended!

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the crumble ingredients with a pastry cutter, fork, or your hands until you form a dough.
  3. Press 2/3 of the dough into the baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes then remove from the oven.
  4. Meanwhile, add the strawberries, maple syrup, vanilla and lemon zest (if using) to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until jammy. Mix together the jam, cornstarch and water and stir that in. Spread strawberry mixture over the baked crust.
  5. Add the remaining crumble over top and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.
  6. Let cool completely before slicing. I like to let them cool to room temperature then place them in the fridge for 1-2 hours before cutting to make them easier to cut, plus I think they test best chilled!
  7. Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!
