Ingredients
CRUMBLE
- 160 g Rolled Porridge Oats
- 190 g Self Raising Flour
- 130 g Light Brown Soft Sugar
- 175 g Coconut Oil
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ½ tsp Baking Powder
- ¼ tsp Salt
FILLING
- 2 tsp Cornflour
- 1 tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
- 150 g Raspberry Jam
- 400 g Mixed Fresh Berries
Instructions
- Preheat oven 180°C.
- Lightly grease an 8” square tin with coconut oil and line with baking parchment (make sure the paper goes beyond the edges, this will help later).
- In a large bowl mix together the flour, baking powder, followed by the oats, sugar, salt and cinnamon.
- Then, add the coconut oil to the mix and rub in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Pour about two thirds of the mixture into the prepared tin, spread it out and level it by packing it down very firmly.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until golden around the edges.
- For the filling, mix the cornflour and lemon juice together in a large bowl to make a paste. Stir in the jam, followed by the berries.
- Pour the filling over the base and spread level.
- Scatter the remaining crumble mixture over the top and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crumble is golden and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin. Once cooled, carefully lift it out using the baking parchment, cut into squares and serve.
