    Personally, I absolutely love the butterscotch flavor because it takes me straight back to my childhood! It's such a nostalgic taste that reminds me of all the times I spent baking with my mum (& making more or less a mess in the kitchen).

    Butterscotch also has this warm and comforting taste that goes so well with a variety of ingredients, making it a super versatile flavor for all kinds of sweet treats! And with store-bought vegan options like the Nature's Charm Butterscotch Sauce I used for this recipe, it’s also make it super convenient to quickly whip up a batch of these bars!

    ❤️ What's Great About this Recipe

    • It's 100% vegan as I've used vegan butter, sugar and also a vegan-friendly butterscotch sauce!
    • The crumble bars are made with Nature's Charm Coconut Butter Scotch Sauce for a rich and creamy flavor.
    • It uses a classic crumble mix with flour, sugar and vegan butter for a deliciously crunchy texture.
    • You can easily customize the recipe with a variety of seasonal fruits, such as peaches, blueberries, or apples!
    • The bars are easy to make with just a few simple steps and ingredients.
    • This recipe makes 9-16 bars depending on your preferred serving size.
    • It's the perfect summer treat for any occasion, from birthday parties to picnics in the park!

    🌱 Ingredients & Notes

    Here is everything you need for this recipe:

    All five ingredients for butterscotch crumble bars are sitting on a wooden tray with a white napkin on the side and each item is labelled with the name of the ingredient.
    A jar of Nature's Charm Coconut Butterscotch Sauce is sitting on a table next to crumble bars and fresh raspberries.
    • All-purpose flour - This is the standard flour used for baking, but you can also use spelt flour, oat flour, or gluten-free flour if you prefer.
    • Granulated sugar - You can substitute with coconut sugar, brown sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice.
    • Vegan butter - For best results, use a high-quality vegan butter. Make sure it's unsalted! I personally like to use either Flora Plant Butter or Naturli Vegan Block.
    • Nature's Charm Coconut Butterscotch Sauce - Made with coconut milk and coconut sugar, this sauce has a rich and creamy texture that is perfect for use in crumble bars! Its sweetness also complements the tartness of the fruit, while the creaminess adds a decadent touch to the bars. This sauce can be found in most health food stores or online. If you can't find it, you can also make your own homemade Vegan Butterscotch Sauce.
    • Raspberries - I personally prefer using fresh raspberries for this recipe but you can also use frozen fruit.

    Scroll to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the full measurements.

    Substitutions

    In case you don't have everything to hand, here a few ideas and notes for possible substitutions:

    • All-purpose flour - Swap for spelt flour, oat flour, or gluten-free flour.
    • Granulated sugar - Use coconut sugar, brown sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice.
    • Vegan butter - Coconut oil or vegetable shortening.
    • Nature's Charm Coconut Butterscotch Sauce - Homemade vegan butterscotch sauce or any other vegan caramel sauce.
    • Seasonal fruit - Frozen fruit or any other seasonal fruit of your choice.

    Recipe Variations

    If you want to shake things up, here are some delicious variations you can try:

    • Add nuts - For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts such as almonds, pecans, or walnuts to the crumble mix.
    • Add spice - Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to the crumble mix for extra flavor.
    • Make it gluten-free - Use gluten-free flour in the crumble to make this recipe gluten-free.
    • Make it refined sugar-free - Simply use coconut sugar instead of granulated sugar.

    🧑‍🍳 Instructions (Step-by-Step)

    Preparation:

    • preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C)
    • line an 8 x 8 inch baking dish (20 x 20 cm)
    The crumble mix is shown in a glass bowl and its texture is coarse and crumbly.

    Step 1 - Combine flour and sugar, then add the cold, cubed vegan butter. Use a pastry cutter or cold fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

    A hand is pressing part of the crumble mix into the bottom of the oven dish to create the base.

    Step 2 - Press ⅔ of the mix into the bottom of the baking dish.

    Step 3 - Pour the vegan butterscotch sauce onto the crumble layer and spread evenly.

    Fresh raspberries have been added on top of the butterscotch and are almost covering up the sauce underneath.

    Step 4 - Sprinkle the raspberries on top.

    🍽️ Serving

    These vegan butterscotch crumble bars are delicious on their own, but you can also serve them with a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a scoop of vegan ice cream. They're perfect for a summer dessert or as a sweet snack any time of the day.

    I personally like to place the crumble bars into the oven for a few minutes to heat them up - that's how I enjoy them the most!

    ❄️ How to Store

    To store these vegan butterscotch crumble bars, first let them cool completely. Once cool, cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or foil and store the dish in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

    You can also freeze the bars by individually wrapping them tightly, and then placing them in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They will keep in the freezer for up to 1 month. When ready to serve, let the bars come to room temperature before slicing and serving.

    💡 Expert Tips & Tricks

    Here are some extra tips to make sure your crumble bars turn out perfect:

    • Use cold vegan butter - Make sure the vegan butter is cold and cubed before adding it to the flour and sugar mixture. This is essential to create a crumbly texture.
    • Don't overmix - Once the crumble mix resembles coarse crumbs, stop mixing. Overmixing can result in a tough texture.
    • Use parchment paper - Line the baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make it easier to remove the bars from the dish.
    • Let it cool - Let the bars cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help set the bars and make them easier to cut.

    ❓ Recipe FAQs

    How can I make sure the bars don't stick to the baking dish?

    To prevent the bars from sticking to the baking dish, line the dish with parchment paper before adding the crumble mix. This will make it easier to remove the bars from the dish after baking.

    How can I make crumble bars look more visually appealing?

    To make the crumble bars look more visually appealing, you can sprinkle a bit of powdered sugar over the top of the finished bars. You could also add a few fresh berries or a sprig of mint as a garnish. Additionally, you can use a large, sharp knife to create clean lines when slicing the bars to make them look neater.
