Strawberry Crumble Bars

These strawberry streusel bars remind me of my childhood. My mother used to make crumble bars quite often and I loved them. However, they were filled with lots of butter, eggs, and sugar. So I worked on creating a vegan crumble recipe and make it healthier overall.

The first attempt turned out a bit dry, so I tweaked it and now I am very satisfied with my own healthy strawberry crumb bars.

This recipe contains only wholesome plant-based ingredients, no butter, no eggs, no gluten, no refined sugar and no dairy! These crumble bars turned out very soft and fruity and they were gone so fast as they are super delicious.

How To Make Strawberry Crumb Bars

You will need 10 ingredients and about 20 minutes to prepare these healthy strawberry crumb bars. The main ingredient is oats (you can use regular or gluten-free oats) and strawberries.

For the crust you only need one bowl to mix all ingredients together! Yes, no food processor or blender needed, just your hands, a bowl and one saucepan for the strawberry filling. It can’t get much easier in my opinion.

Vegan crumble bars with different fillings

Before I made this recipe I asked on my Instagram account @elavegan which filling I should use as I want to make recipes which my readers appreciate. My followers were able to choose either apples, strawberries, blackberries or poppy seeds as these were the ingredients I had at home at that time.

About 100 people voted for strawberries, 75 for apples, almost 60 for blackberries and about 55 for poppy seeds. Some people also had the idea to combine strawberries and poppy seeds etc. You can find the Instagram post here.

Since strawberries were mentioned most often, I made these strawberry crumb bars but you could, of course, use any other filling. In my first attempt of trying out crumble bars I made blueberry crumb bars and next time I will make apple cinnamon crumb bars.

I am sure I will also make poppy seed crumb bars soon as I love, love, love poppy seeds.

To Sum It Up, These Strawberry Crumb Bars Are:

Dairy-free
Egg-free
Refined sugar-free
Vegan
Gluten-free
Healthy
Delicious
Fruity
Easy to make
