Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5).
Lightly coat an 8-inch (20 cm) square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup (60 g) flour, oats, ¼ cup (48 g) Sucanat, pecans, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut the nondairy butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture.
Mix with a fork or your fingers until a coarse crumble forms.

Pour the blackberry mixture into the prepared baking dish.
