Ingredients
Brown Butter Crumble
- 1/2 cup (110g) unsalted butter (regular or plant-based)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (132g) all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cup (125g) quick oats
- 1/2 cup (108g) light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
Chocolate Filling
- Heaping 3/4 cup (200g) Chocolate SunButter
- 1 cup (145g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup (70g) toffee bits (omit if making vegan)
Instructions
Chocolate Crumble Bars
- Brown the butter in a saucepan then pour into a measuring glass.
- Mix in 2 tablespoons of water and vanilla extract. Place into the refrigerator to chill for about 15 minutes.
- In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
- Then in a large mixing bowl, mix together the rest of the crumble ingredients with your hands (this helps break up any brown sugar lumps).
- Once the butter has cooled (it can be warm but not piping hot), mix into the dry ingredients using a rubber spatula.
- Press about 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the baking dish. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Once baked, spread the chocolate SunButter on top and sprinkle with a layer of chocolate chips then a layer of toffee bits.
- Sprinkle the remaining crumble on top and bake for 20-23 minutes.
- Allow the bars to cool completely either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Then lift them out, slice, and enjoy!
