Ingredients
  

  • Almonds: 1 cup 240g – because almonds make everything better!
  • All-purpose flour: A solid 1 ½ cups 180g.
  • Vegan butter yes, it’s a thing!: ½ cup (115g).
  • Organic cane sugar: ½ cup 100g – sweetness to perfection.
  • Vanilla extract: Just a little touch 1 tsp (5ml).
  • A pinch of salt: ¼ tsp to be exact.
  • Mixed berries think raspberries, blueberries, strawberries: 2 cups (480g) of juicy goodness.
  • Chia seeds: 2 tbsp 30g – a secret ingredient for added texture.
  • Almond milk: ½ cup 120ml – keeping it dairy-free.
  • Maple syrup: 2 tbsp 30ml – because, yum!

Method
 

  1. First, warm up that oven of yours to 350°F (180°C). It’s baking time!
  2. Almonds need a good blitz in the food processor. You’re looking for a nice, powdery consistency.
  3. Mix-a-bowl time! Almond powder, flour, that vegan butter, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. This is your tart’s foundation, so make it good.
  4. Smoothly line the tart pan with the mixture. Picture a comfy bed but for your berries.
  5. Berry time! In another bowl, stir together your berries, chia seeds, almond milk, and maple syrup. Let it mingle for about 10 minutes.
  6. Layer those berries onto your crust. Like a blanket of berry goodness.
  7. Into the oven it goes, for around 40 minutes. What you’re looking for is a gold-ish edge.
  8. Once done, let the Vegan Berry and Almond Tart relax and cool down. It’s had a hot 40 minutes!
