Ingredients

For the Strawberry Jam:

  • 1 pint strawberries leaves removed, coarsely chopped
  • 2 T. maple syrup
  • 1 lemon juice

For the Peanut Butter Crumb:

  • 2/3 c. butter softened
  • 1/3 c. peanut butter smooth
  • ¾ c. + 1 T. maple syrup
  • 1 c. brown rice flour
  • ½ c. tapioca starch
  • ¾ t. xanthan gum
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • ½ t. salt
  • 1 2/3 c. oats quick cooking, gluten free

Instructions

For the Strawberry Jam:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a medium saucepan, place strawberries, 2 T. maple syrup and the juice of 1 lemon. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Let simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Start mashing the strawberries with the back of your spoon during the last 5 minutes of simmering. Set aside until ready to use.

For the Peanut Butter Crumb:

  • In a large bowl combine butter, maple syrup and peanut butter. Mix on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • In a separate bowl place brown rice flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt. Toss to combine.
  • Add in dry ingredients to the butter/syrup mixture, mixing well after each addition. Once mixture is well combined, stir in oats by hand.
  • Spread half of the mixture along the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the strawberry jam on top of this layer and spread evenly. Crumble remaining peanut butter crumb on top of the strawberry jam layer.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. The tops will be slightly golden brown when done baking. Serve warm with ice cream or straight from the tray. Enjoy
