Rainbow Berry Protein Crumble Bars
Feeds 16 | Preparation time 25-30 mins
What to do:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a square 8 X 8” baking tin with greaseproof paper and a little spray coconut oil, allowing some paper overhang so the bake can be lifted out easily later.
- Prepare the base. Put the nuts in a blender or food processor and blitz to form a nutty crumb. Add the remaining ingredients; oats, chia or flaxseed, protein powder, applesauce, vanilla, sweetener of choice and salt and blend to form a dough.
- Tip the base mixture into the pre-prepared tin. Using a spatula, level the dough and press down to form a biscuit oat base.
- Bake in the oven at 175°C (350°F) for 10-12 mins until the biscuit base is slightly golden.
- Prepare the middle layer. Gently coat the berries in lemon juice and ground chia seeds. Tip onto the part-cooked base and gently press down.
- Make the crumble layer. Combine all the crumble topping ingredients in a bowl. Sprinkle on top of the berry layer. Gently press down to ensure it sticks.
- Bake for a further 15 mins in the oven until slightly golden. Allow to cool in the tin for 30 mins before transferring to a wire rack to cool fully. Slice up into bars. Enjoy!
