Blueberry Crumble Bars

Delicious and bright gluten-free crumble bars made with a jammy blueberry filling and topped with a protein-boosted crumble topping.  

Ingredients

  • 2 cups blanched almond flour, for crust
  • 1 cup gluten-free 1:1 all-purpose flour, for crust
  • 2 tbsp potato starch, for crust
  • ¼ cup pure maple syrup, for crust
  • ½ cup melted coconut oil, for crust
  • Zest of 1 lemon, for crust
  • ¼ tsp salt, for crust
  • 1 Blueberry + Cashew Butter MacroBar®, torn into small pieces, for crumble 
  • 4 ½ cups frozen wild blueberries, for filling
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup, for filling
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch, for filling
  • Zest of 1 lemon, for filling
  • 1 ½ tbsp lemon juice, for filling 
  • ⅛ tsp salt, for filling
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract, for filling

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8-inch metal baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix almond flour, gluten-free flour, potato starch, salt, and lemon zest. Make a well in the center and add maple syrup and melted coconut oil. Mix until a dough forms. 
  3. Reserve 1/2 cup for the topping, then press remaining dough firmly into the pan to form the crust. Bake for 17 to 18 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges, then cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. In a medium saucepan, add blueberries, maple syrup, cornstarch, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt, then cook over medium-low heat for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently, until thick and jammy. Spread blueberry filling over the cooled crust. 
  5. Add MacroBar® pieces into the remaining dough and mix to form medium clumps, then crumble over top of filling. 
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, then let cool completely.
