This is a recipe I found in a dairy free cookbook. I converted this when my daughter was little and had several allergies that we had to adjust for. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter |
1/3 cup almonds, chopped |
1 1/8 cups oat flour |
5/8 cup potato starch (not potato flour) |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/3 cups brown sugar, firmly packed |
2 cups rolled oats |
12 ounces apricot jam |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Put butter in a 9x13-inch baking pan and set in the oven while it preheats; this will melt the butter and grease the pan.
3. Sift the oat flour, potato starch, soda, cinnamon, and salt into a bowl; stir in the brown sugar, rolled oats, and chopped almonds.
4. Add the melted butter and mix well.
5. Press 2/3 of this mixture into the greased pan.
6. Spread the jam over the crumbs, keeping it away from the sides of the pan as much as possible.
7. Cover with the remaining crumbs and press down firmly.
8. Bake for about 45 minutes, until lightly browned.
9. Cool in the pan before cutting.
