• 1 cup (125 g) rolled oats - ground into flour or whole/sprouted spelt flour
• 1 cup almond flour/meal
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• Pinch sea salt
• 1 cup filtered water
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped ginger

Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350° F (180° C).
2. 2. Place banana, coconut oil and sugar into a food processor, blend to combine until smooth. Add about ? of the amount of cardamom, flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt, and mix to combine. With the motor still running, pour in water through the funnel and process until well combined. Add ginger and vinegar, pulse to incorporate. Alternatively, you can mix all dough ingredients by hand.
3. First mash the banana with a fork, then keep mixing according to the order above.
4. 3. Cover a 9” x 11” (23 x 28 g) baking dish with parchment paper, extending it up the sides of the dish. Pour the dough in and distribute evenly.
5. 4. Combine all fruit with coconut sugar and spices in a medium bowl. Distribute evenly on top of the dough.
6. 5. Mix all the crumble ingredients, with the exception of oil, in the same bowl you used for the fruit. Work in the oil using your fingers, until all ingredients are well combined. Evenly sprinkle the topping over the fruit.
7. 6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until cranberries are bubbling through the topping and the crumble is golden in color.
8. Let cool. Remove from the pan, lifting the bar by the sides of parchment paper onto a cutting board. Slice into bars of preferred size.
