Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and prepare a 20cm (8in) square tin lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled porridge oats, plain flour, baking powder, light brown soft sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Rub in the vegan butter or coconut oil into your dry mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
  4. Take about two-thirds of your crumble mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of your prepared tin. Bake for about 15 minutes.
  5. In a small bowl, mix cornflour with fresh lemon juice to form a paste. Then add raspberry jam and mixed fresh berries.
  6. Spread the berry mixture evenly over the baked base, and sprinkle the remaining crumble mixture over the top.
  7. Bake for an additional 25 to 30 minutes until the crumble top is golden brown and the berry filling bubbles.
  8. Allow to cool completely in the tin before lifting out and cutting into squares.
