Blueberry Spinach Crumble Bars
- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:2 cups oats1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour1/2 cup raw sugar1 tsp cinnamon1/4 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp salt1/2 cup chopped almondsThe Wet Ingredients:3/4 cup vegetable oil (I used 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/2 cup canola)1 tsp vanillaFilling:1/2 cup blackberry preserves1/2 cup spinach puree1 cup fresh blueberries1 tbs arrowroot or cornstarch1 tsp almond extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all the dry ingredients together except for the almonds. Add the wet ingredients and stir or mix with your hands until evenly moistened and crumbly.
Press about half the mixture firmly into a greased 9 inch round pan (or 8 inch square pan). Bake for 10 minutes.
While that’s baking, stir together the filling ingredients. To make the spinach puree, microwave spinach with a tablespoon of water in covered bowl for 25 seconds, then puree in a food processor.
Spread the filling onto the partially baked crust. Don’t worry, it won’t look green after it bakes. Then top with the remainder of dry mixture and chopped almonds. Bake for 25 more minutes, rotating once.
Let cool and cut into 8 wedges if using a round pan or 12 bars if using a square one.
