They’re chewier and heartier than instant oats.

My wardrobe consists of a lot of white, gray, black, and some blue.

And yes, other kinds of berries would be delicious here too!

I like to heat them up with the rest of the filling ingredients, pulse, then transfer back to the saucepan and cook until thickened. Or (what I recommend!) gently pulse the blueberries in a blender so you get a little juicy-ness but still have plenty of whole berries too. You can just aggressively mash the berries in the saucepan while they cook. The sweetest part! Since we are sweetening this layer with our Medjool Date paste too, you won’t have as much liquid as if we were using sugar or a liquid sweetener. Mixing with a fork or your hands works best for getting that sticky crumble consistency. And then coconut oil for moisture and date paste for moisture and sweetness. Rolled oats for texture, cinnamon and ginger for a little spice, baking powder for a little puff. We are using a combination of almond and cassava flours, so these bars are gluten-free and will bake to a perfect golden color.

Instead of preparing a crust and a crumble, we are using the same mixture for both – one pressed on the bottom, one crumbled on top. This salty-sweet, subtly-spiced, sticky streusel step is my favorite part. Step 2: Making the Oatmeal Crust and Crumble Coconut milk instead of water makes for the CREAMIEST dreamy date paste you have ever seen in your life (don’t worry, I worked a little extra into the recipe so you can steal a spoonful or two!)

We are using one creamy blender full of caramel-y date goodness to sweeten both the crumble and the filling. This recipe is vegan, gluten-free, and simple to prepare in 3 steps! Step 1: Making The Medjool Date Paste Three wonderful things happen when you swap sugar for Medjool Dates in your berry crumble bars: 1) the usually just sticky/jammy filling layer becomes ever so slightly creamy in the best way and 2) the bars go from mostly dessert to very much breakfast approved 3) you never want to make berry crumble the old way again. Vegan, gluten-free, date-sweetened! SPONSORED BY NATURAL DELIGHTS Sweet jammy blueberries plus cinnamon oatmeal streusel combine in the yummiest Blueberry Crumble Bars.
