  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup/104g of coconut sugar/ organic brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of instant coffee
  • 1 Tablespoon flax meal
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon of molasses optional
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ½ cup/118g unsweetened plain plant milk I used Oat milk
  • 1/3 cup/83g of unsweetened applesauce/or 1 large banana

  • Crumble Topping Ingredients:
  • ½ cup/ 50g of rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon of instant coffee
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup/30g almond flour
  • 3 Tablespoons organic maple syrup
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened almond butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F/180C. Place the oven rack in the center position.
  • Make the Crumble Topping– Place ½ cup oats in a food processor to break them up, about 20 seconds. Then add all the remaining Crumble Toppingingredients to the food processor and process until well combined. The Crumble Topping should be “loose” but hold together when taking a small amount and pressing it into a ball. (see notes). Set aside.
  • Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Make the Coffee Cake by placing ¾ cup oats in a food processor to break them up, about 20 seconds. Then add all the remaining Coffee Cake ingredients to the food processor and process until well combined.
  • Pour the Coffee Cake batter into the parchment-lined 8 x 8 baking dish, smooth out carefully to make the batter even and level. Then place the Crumble Topping on top of the batter.
  • Bake at 350 F for 28 to 30 minutes. Note: Place a piece of foil across the top of the cake at the 15-minute mark to prevent over-browning of the crumble.
  • Remove from the oven, allow to cool for at least 25 minutes, serve warm with warm vegan custard if you like, but it's great cold too.

Notes

Store the bars in the fridge for up to 5 days.
