Chatelaine
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups
old-fashioned oats
1/2 cup
whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp
ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp
1/4 tsp
kosher salt
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
packed light brown sugar
1
large egg
1 tsp
vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup
jam, any flavour
1/2 cup
chopped almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8- × 8-inch (20 × 20 cm) baking pan and line with a piece of parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch (5 cm) overhang on two sides.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, make the base by pulsing the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until finely ground. Add the almond butter, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla and pulse to combine. The mixture should resemble wet sand. If it doesn’t, and appears to be too dry, add a tablespoon (15 mL) of water to the mixture. Reserve ½ cup (125 mL) of the crumble mixture and set aside.
- Press the remaining crumble mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Spread the jam over the bottom crust. Combine chopped almonds and reserved crumble mixture, and scatter over the jam.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Cool completely, then remove from pan using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 12 bars. Bars can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
