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 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.
Method
Preheat the oven to 180˚ fan.
In a bowl, weigh cold cubed margarine from the fridge together with the flour and starch. In another bowl weigh sugar, salt, orange zest and oat flakes.
By hand (or in a planetary mixer with the paddle attachment) mix the margarine and powders until you obtain a sandy consistency.
Then also mix the ingredients from the other bowl with sugar etc. Then add them to the sanded margarine and flour mixture.
Add the water.
Mix until you get a moist mixture, which binds together, but it is not necessary to make a dough.
Take the mold and coarsely crumble 30 g of crumble into each cavity.
Add 3 chopped raspberries to each bar.
Then close with approximately another 25 g of crumble. Add 1 or 2 pieces of raspberries to the surface, depending on the size of the raspberries.
Cook in a 180˚ fan oven for approximately 20 minutes. Cool at room temperature for 30 minutes then remove the bars. If desired, sprinkle a little icing sugar.
