Jam crumble bars

Ingredients
125g butter, melted
1/3 cup / 70g brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 egg
1 1/2 cups / 225g (gluten-free) plain flour
1/2 cup (gluten-free) porridge oats (or flour)
1/2 cup ground almond (or flour)
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup strawberry jam (or flavour of your choice)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 180C.
Spray a 23cm/9" square tin with oil and line with baking/parchment paper with overhang (so it can be lifted out once cooked).

To make the crumble mixture, stir together butter, sugar, salt, vanilla and egg. Then add in flour, oats, ground almond and baking powder until you can no longer see white bits of flour.

Place two thirds of the crumble mixture in the tin and press into base. Spread with jam. Mix the chopped nuts (if using) with the remaining crumble mixture, then use your hands to crumble the remaining mixture over the top.

Bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until the top is deep golden. Remove and allow to cool in the tin before lifting out of the tin using the baking paper.

Cut into squares (I have 16 squares). Serve at room temperature. Store in airtight container.
