How to Prepare Cherry Crumb Bars [Vegan, Gluten-Free]

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a square 8" baking pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
In a medium bowl, mix in all the ingredients for the cherry filling.
In a large bowl, mix in the remaining crumb ingredients and combine with your hands until the mixture is well combined but still has chunks.
Press the crumb mixture onto the bottom of the prepared pan but reserve 1 cup of the mix.
Spread cherry filling evenly over the crust.
Sprinkle the rest of the crumb mixture over cherries and then sprinkle the remainder of the sugar.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the top is golden. Cool for 15 minutes then transfer pan to the fridge for 30 minutes to harden. This will ensure your squares won't fall apart.
Cut into 3 even rows of 2.5". Enjoy!
