Notes
* Recipe is gluten free if certified gluten free oats and other ingredients are used, and the person consuming this crumble is not sensitive to oats.
You can make your own oat flour by simply blending oats into a fine meal.
** Medjool dates work best for the caramel as they are nice and soft and gooey. If you have slightly drier dates soak them for an hour in hot water and then squeeze them out before blending.
*** Don't work the crumble into a fine crumb, it tastes better if it’s kept only ‘roughly’ combined because the edges go nice and crispy in the oven.
