Very Berry Pistachio Crumble Bars

STEP 1

Pre heat the oven to 160°C Fan. Place the mixed berries into a small saucepan, bringing to a gentle simmer allowing them to soften and burst - simmer for about 5 minutes. Take off the heat and stir through the chia seeds. Set aside.

STEP 2

In a large bowl combine the dry base ingredients. Mix and set aside. Place the soaked dates and the water into a blender with the oil, nut butter and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

STEP 3

Fold the wet into the dry, which will give you a dry clumpy dough. Press this into a lined baking dish with your fingers or the back of a spoon, before placing in the pre heated oven for about 15 minutes, to firm up.

STEP 4

When the base is ready, top with the mixed berry compote in an even layer and sprinkle on a few handfuls of granola. Place back into the pre heated oven for about 20 mins until the topping is golden and the berries are bubbling a little at the edges. Allow to cool before cutting squares.

Enjoy!
