Crumble bars

Crumble bars are perfect treats for breakfast or snack. Crumble means crumbling, in fact the mixture, which may seem similar to a pastry shortcrust in terms of ingredients, is not compact but must be crumbled in the mould, in this way a rustic effect is also created. We then also add raspberries and oats to obtain super delicious bars.

Procedure

Preheat oven to 180˚C fan-assisted.

In a bowl, weigh cold diced margarine from the fridge together with the flour and potato starch. In another bowl weigh sugar, salt, orange zest and oat flakes.

By hand (or in a stand mixer with the leaf hook), mix the margarine and powders until you obtain a sandy consistency. 

Then mix the ingredients from the other bowl with the sugar, etc. Then add them to the sandy mixture of margarine and flour.

Add the water. 

Mix until you get a moist mixture that holds together, but it is not necessary to make a loaf. 

Take the mold and roughly crumble 30 g of crumble into each cavity. 

Add 3 chopped raspberries to each bar.

Then cover with another 25 g of crumble. Add 1 or 2 raspberry pieces to the top, depending on their size. 

Bake in a fan-assisted oven at 180°C for about 20 minutes. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then remove the bars. Dust with some icing sugar if desired.
