Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
  • 1 cup spelt flour or all-purpose organic flour (use Bob's Red Mill GF Mix for GF version)
  • ⅓ cup organic, rolled oats (use gf for gf version)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder, aluminum free
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • pinch of cinnamon powder
  • ½ cup vegan butter or raw and organic coconut oil, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup organic sugar or ½ cup raw and organic agave
  • 2 flax eggs (1/3 cup water whisked with 2 tablespoons powdered flax seed) OR 2 egg whites (non-vegan version)
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 12 cherries, pitted and halved or ½ cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Prepare baking pan with butter/coconut oil or a non-stick spray.
  3. Whisk the flour, rolled oats, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  4. Beat the butter/coconut oil and sugar until smooth. While beating, add the flax “eggs”/egg whites until blended. Add the almond extract.
  5. With the blender on low, incorporate the flour mixture. Mix only until combined. Do not over mix! Scoop the mixture into your prepared pan, the texture should be similar to a loose shortbread so you will need to spread it in the pan with a fork or spoon. Gently press the fruit into the batter and sprinkle with the almonds.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes until golden around the edges. 35 minutes for the 4, 4-inch tarts.
  7. NOTE: If you'd like to use a simple glaze to top mix ½ cup + 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon limoncello or liquid of your choice.
