We recently bought WAY too many yellow plums from a local farm market, and after eating our fill of them fresh/as is, it’s time to start turning them into yummy baked goods. I brainstormed several ideas, like a frangipane tart, or plum cake, before landing on this recipe. I didn’t feel like taking the time to develop my own recipe for this one, so I grabbed my trusty Bakerita cookbook by Rachel Conners.

Her recipes always deliver, are gluten-free, refined-sugar free, dairy-free, and mostly grain-free, paleo, and egg-free/vegan too. This one is on page 192, called Spiced Stone-Fruit Crumble Bars, but she also has a SUPER similar recipe on her blog (link at bottom) called plum crumble bars (the filling spices are just a bit different, crumble is EXACTLY the same).

It’s fairly easy, quick to prep, perfectly sweet, and we loved the chew from the whole oats in the crumble/crust. You can switch up the fruit too, to whatever local fruit is currently in season near you! Apple crumble bars? Berry crumble bars? Yes! Yes! Yes! Let’d do this:
