If there is one thing that Kyla loves to make other than soup it is desserts. When we have the weekly family dinner there is always a great dessert thanks to her. Also, she is not happy with repeats! I would say that pretty much every Sunday there is a new and delicious dessert. In fact I think we could have a whole other website called www.kylasdesserts.com. Anyway a few weeks ago she made these lovely blueberry crumble squares. They’re kind of like date squares but with blueberries. These have such a great, fresh taste thanks to the berries and lemon zest. I actually asked her to make them again but she misunderstood and made a blueberry cake which we might just have to share another time. Enjoy this anytime of year. I bet it would be great with vanilla, coconut ice cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups of oat or almond flour

  • 1 cup of rolled oats

  • 1/4 cup of maple syrup

  • 1/4 tsp of salt

  • 3/4 cup of softened vegan butter/margarine.

  • For the Filling

  • 4 cups of frozen blueberries

  • 3 Tbsp of maple syrup

  • 3 Tbsp of corn starch

  • Zest of half a lemon

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 180° C (350° F)
  • In a bowl whisk together the flour, oats and salt.
  • Combine the flour mixture with the butter/margarine and maple syrup and stir until a crumbly mixture develops.
  • In a greased 23cm (9′) square pan press the crumble mixture firmly into the bottom to form a crust, saving 1 cup of the crumble mix for the topping.
  • Bake the crust for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven and set aside.
  • In a medium pot over medium heat combine the blueberries, maple syrup, corn starch and lemon zest. Bring the filling to a simmer, stirring often, and cook for about 8 minutes allowing the sauce to thicken.
  • Pour the filling evenly over the crust and top with the left over crumble mixture.
  • Bake for 40 minutes allowing the top to brown slightly.
  • When the squares are done, remove from the oven and let cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
