Method :
Step - 1
Preheat oven to 160 °C fan-forced
Step - 2
Line a 20 x 20 cm baking tray, allowing an overhang for easy handling.

Step - 4
Next, melt the butter and allow it to cool before adding the vanilla extract and set aside.
Step - 5
In a medium bowl, add all the dry crumble ingredients, then pour in the melted butter mixture and stir with a spatula to bring the crumble together.
Step - 6
Grab the lined tray and add 3/4 of the crumble mixture, pressing down & levelling firmly across the base of the tray. Bake for 12 minutes and remove from the oven.

When done, allow to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, place in the fridge to set for at least 4 hours before cutting.
