Ingredients

  • raspberries 250 g
  • unsalted butter 200 g
  • plain flour 200 g
  • pine nuts 90 g
  • brown sugar 150 g
  • porridge oats 200 g
  • lemon 1 (zest)

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 1900°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5.
  • Butter a shallow 23cm cake tin (a square tin will make things easier later). Zest the lemon.
  • Place the plain flour, porridge oats and unsalted butter into a mixing bowl and use your fingers to work the mixture together to make a course crumb.
  • Stir in the sugar, lemon zest and ¾ of the pine nuts. Press the mixture together well so it forms large sticky clumps.
  • Put about two thirds of the oat mixture into the base of the tin, spread it out and press down very lightly - don't pack it too firmly. Scatter the raspberries on top and sprinkle the rest of the oat mixture on top.
  • Add the rest of the pine nuts and press everything down very lightly. Bake for 35 minutes until pale golden on top.
  • Cut into 12 bars with a sharp knife while still warm, then leave to cool in the tin before removing.These bars will last for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
