Plums are just in season and I’ve been trying out different recipes with plums to take on days out. We all like a crumble when there are gluts of fruit and flapjacks and oat bars are popular for picnics. Here’s a recipe which combines both for a perfect treat.
Plum
Crumble bars
Base and
topping
225g
butter
225g oats
175g plain
flour
150g
light brown sugar
1 tsp
cinnamon
Filling
300g Plums
(sliced)
50g light
brown sugar (optional)
1 tbsp
cornflour
1 tsp vanilla
extract
Preheat
the oven to 180C. Grease and line a baking tray (approx. 20-21 cms – can be rectangle
or square)
Make the
base and topping : Cut the butter into small cubes and rub into the oats and
flour until the mixture looks like breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and cinnamon and
mix well. Press half of the mixture into the baking tray and bake in the oven
for about 10 minutes.
Make the filling
: Mix the sliced plums with the sugar (if used), cornflour and vanilla extract.
Remove
the baking tray with the base from the oven and spread the plum mixture on top
of the warm base. Then cover this with the rest of the oat mixture as a
topping. Bake in the oven for a further 30 -35 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a cooling rack. Cut into squares or slices to serve when cool.
