Ingredients
- 250g self-raising flour
- 25g oats
- 280g soft brown sugar
- 200g cold butter, cut into pieces
- 75g desiccated coconut
- 2 medium eggs, beaten
- 350g frozen or fresh blackberry
Instructions
- Step 1: Set the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Combine the flour, oats and sugar in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the dry 'ingredients' using your fingertips, until only small pea-sized pieces remain. Mix in the coconut, then fill a teacup with the mixture and set aside.
- Step 2: Mix the eggs into the mixture in the bowl, then spread it evenly onto the bottom of a baking pan that is 31 x 17cm or a 21cm square tin. Create a smooth layer with the back of a spoon, and sprinkle the blackberries on top. Place the previously reserved teacup mixture around the surface and bake for between one and one and a quarter hours until it is a golden colour and fully cooked (if you insert a skewer, it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet mixture). Allow it to cool off, then take it out of the tin and cut into equal parts. You can top with extra berries if desired. It is great for teatime or packing in a lunchbox.
