Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix almond flour, rolled oats, arrow root starch, vanilla extract, maple syrup, tahini, olive oil, and sea salt in a medium bowl until well combined.
Divide the mixture, saving 2/3 for the crust and 1/3 for the crumble topping.
Press 2/3 of the dough into a greased or parchment-lined 8x8 pan and spread evenly.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown, then remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Add strawberries, honey, lemon juice, chia seeds, and filtered water to a medium pot.
Cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and the strawberries break down.
Spread the strawberry jam evenly over the cooled crust.
Sprinkle the reserved crumble mixture on top of the jam layer.
Bake for 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees until the crumble is lightly golden.
