Passionfruit Crumble Bars - Recipe by Barker’s of New Zealand.

Ingredients

240g plain flour
1 cup rolled oats
1 tsp baking powder
200g butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tub Barker's Passionfruit Curd

Method

Preheat oven to 180 C.

Line a square baking pan with baking paper and set aside.

Ensure butter is softened to room temperature.

In a large mixing bowl, add flour, oats and baking powder. Mix until well combined. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, or large mixing bowl, add softened butter and sugar. Beat together for 1 minute until well combined and soft, scraping down the sides as needed.

Add flour mixture and beat until it begins to come together. It will start to stick like a soft dough, but still be crumbly.

Transfer half of the dough into the lined pan. Press into pan to form the base.

Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Spoon over passionfruit curd and spread out evenly with a spatula or spoon.

Sprinkle over the remaining crumble. Return to oven and bake for a further 30-40 minutes or until the crumble topping has turned lightly golden and the curd is bubbling around the edges.

Remove and allow the slice to cool completely in the pan.

Once cooled, carefully transfer to a board and slice into squares.
