How to Prepare Blackberry Thyme Crumble Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375˚F. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. For the filling, mix together the ingredients for the blackberry filling except the + 1/2 tablespoons chopped thyme in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3. For the crumble, place all ingredients except for the +1/4 cup oats for topping in a food processor and mix until well combined. Remove 1/2 cup of this mixture and toss in a bowl with +1/4 cup oats and set aside. Press remaining mixture evenly into bottom of a pan. Place blackberry filling evenly over the crust. Top with remaining thyme and crumble mixture.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until fruit is bubbling. Remove from oven and cool. Cut into squares and serve. I refrigerated mine and they were amazing a few hours later. Waiting is worth it!
