- Yield: 16 bars 1x
Ingredients
Scale
Pie crust and topping
- 100g / 3,5 oz rolled oats
- 125g / 4,4 oz flour (I used 1/3 almond- and 2/3 oat flour)
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 4 tbsp cashew butter (or other nut butter)
- 6 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
Filling
- 150g / 5,3 oz pitted dates
- 2 tbsp nut butter of choice
- 2 tbsp water
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- A hearty pinch of salt
- Around 1 and a half / 450g / 1 pound’s worth of 1 cm / 1/3 inch thick pear slices
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 150ºC / 300ºF and prepare a square pan by greasing and lining it with parchment paper. My pan was 18×18 cm / 7×7 inches.
- In a medium bowl, put the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, and salt. Using a spatula or such, give the dry ingredients a mix.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the nut butter, liquid sweetener, and vanilla. Add the mixture to the dry, and using your hands crumble together.
- Transfer 2/3 of the crumble to the prepared pan. Press and spread out the crumble evenly to all corner. Prick it all over with a fork and bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- For the filling, blend the dates, nut butter, water, vanilla, and salt into a smooth caramel sauce. Transfer and evenly spread the caramel onto the baked bottom. Lay and arrange the sliced pear on top of the caramel and finish by topping with the remaining crumble. Bake for another 20-30 minutes, depending on how thick your bars and filling are. Take out, let cool and set slightly, cut up and enjoy.
