Vegan Strawberry Cinnamon Crumb Bars
Yesterday I was going to share progress in my garden, as well as a small harvest of fresh strawberries, but I was tired. Even though I had not done much over the weekend, I was mentally tired and then coming back home from work, had me crashing to the sofa.

This was one beautiful strawberry bar. The bottom soft spongy, the top crumbly and crunch and in between a layer of strawberries. Teasing me, first a little bit burst of fruit, then a little bit jammy and then a little bit chewy. Nice. Although D eats everything I make, he does not always appreciate the vegan cakes I make that often, but he loved this one and was happy that I was not going to take any slices into work to share. Secretly I was pleased too.
I've adapted the recipe for Blueberry Spice Crumb Bars slightly from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar by Post Punk Kitchen's Duo. I am not going to republish it here, if you don't have the cookbook - go on treat yourself, if not - you can find the recipe on-line. I replaced the spelt flour with plain flour, blueberries with strawberries and omitted the ginger and allspice.

ReplyDeleteI hope you will make it some day.
DeleteYUM...strawberry crumb cake...
ReplyDelete~Have a lovely day!
Thanks Teresa
DeleteLooks great! Nice to see you this morning!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteSuper. I've got that book--and berries coming in from the garden right now. I'd skipped past that recipe before as Matt isn't huge on blueberries. I don't know why I was thinking so rigidly. That isn't how I usually cook.... Anyways, we harvested about a pound of raspberries this morning and need to get to the currant and strawberries this evening when it cools down again. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI know, sometimes I skip a recipe but then the experimental cook or baker in me experiments and substitutes, happy eating your berries - ooooh currants, my husband would love some.
DeleteThese look fantastic Shaheen - and would be perfect on a picnic (I have just done a post on picnic ideas) :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kari, yes perfect for picnic - i have to confess I have taken them into work for breakfast too - shhuu just don't tell anyone.
DeleteMmmmm I love fruit crumb bars. Delicious and with strawberries, perfectly summery!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kate, just harvested a load more yesterday - must bake something else with them.
DeleteI don't have the cookbook, but I'm pretty sure at least one of my friends does. Looks so pretty!!!
