Plum crumble slice

To have a plum tree is to have a serious issue with what to do with all the plums come harvest season, right? We never want to waste our precious homegrown fruit and every year I spend (probably way too) much time figuring out how to use all our gorgeously homegrown produce. The last few years we have been enjoying this very wholesome plum crumble slice, a breeze to make and adored by all who eat it.

This recipe is flour and gluten free, refined sugar free, jammy, buttery, tart, slightly sweet and perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients list

• Fresh plums, however this recipe would work with any stone fruit (we have made it with both nectarines and peaches- divine).
• Fresh orange juice provides some natural sweetness and zing.
• Arrowroot flour is used to thicken the plum jam topping. You may substitute for wither tapioca starch or corn flour.
• Real maple syrup, or your preferred liquid sweetener. We recommend real maple syrup to keep this recipe as wholesome as possible, however you can use whatever you have access to or can afford.
• Rolled oats make up the bulk of these healthy crumble bars, and give them a break-taste. Oats also add lots of fibre and make these a great option for long term energy snack option. These ones are certified gluten free if needed.
• Almond meal is great combined with rolled oats to balance out the texture and flavour, but you may substitute for extra rolled oats if needed.
• Baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Basically baking must haves.
• Block style butter or coconut oil. You can use cows butter, block style vegan butter or coconut oil if you prefer. Butter gives a better taste and feel.
