Raspberry Crumble Bars and Lunchbox Love ... 1/6/12


Welcome to our weekly Friday feature, Allergy Friendly Lunchbox Love!  This link party is specifically for your dishes that will travel well in a lunchbox, and if they're free of some (or all) of the top eight food allergens, that's even better :)

Today I have a yummy dessert recipe for you that's gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free.  These Raspberry Crumble Bars are quite soft, even after they've cooled, so you might want to freeze individual portions if you're planning to serve them in a lunchbox.  With a little bit of cinnamon (and a lot of sugar) in the topping, these little bars pack a great flavor punch -- use demerara sugar or maple sugar if you're avoiding white sugar.

Raspberry Crumble Bars

1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup demerara (or other natural) sugar
1 Tbsp ground flax seed
3 Tbsp rice milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup quinoa flour
1 cup oats (use certified GF oats)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 jar raspberry jam
additional 1/4 cup sugar
additional 1/2 cup oats
1 tsp cinnamon

In a small bowl, combine flax seed and milk, and let sit for 3 minutes.  Mix together the coconut oil and sugar in a medium bowl, then add vanilla and flax mixture.  In a large bowl, combine two flours, 1 cup oats, salt and baking powder.  Add sugar mixture to flour mixture and blend well.

Divide this batter in about half (60/40 will work).  Press the larger "half" into the bottom of an 8"x8" baking pan.  This will be your crust.  Spread the jelly on top of the crust.

To the smaller "half" of the batter, add the additional oats, sugar and cinnamon.  Crumble over the top of the jelly.  Bake for 25 minutes at 350 degrees F.

At our last link party, way back before Christmas, The Humbled Homemaker shared a recipe for allergen-free graham crackers, and I'm featuring it today so you can all have a chance to enjoy it!  These crackers are gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free, and if your kids are anything like mine, they'll appreciate the fact that you're not making them eat boxed GF crackers (my middle son won't touch them).

Now onto today's link party.  What did you pack for lunch this week?
