This simple recipe has a delicious oaty base and oaty almond crumble topping, and a juicy blackberry and apple fruit centre.

You could also make it with fresh or frozen raspberries or blueberries.
Ingredients:
160g Hamlyns Scottish Porridge Oats
140g plain flour
80g light brown soft sugar
140g butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
130g blackberries
1 large cooking apple, peeled and cut into small chunks
50g caster sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
50g sliced almonds
Method:
1. Preheat your oven to 170C/160 fan. Line a brownie tin with baking paper.
2. Mix the porridge oats, flour, brown sugar and bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl.
3. Melt the butter and stir in until your mixture has a breadcrumb-like consistency.
4. Press two thirds of your mixture into the brownie tin, pressing down firmly, making sure it goes into the corners.
5. In another bowl toss the berries, apples, sugar and lemon juice.
6. Spread the fruit mixture over the oat layer, then crumble the remaining oat mixture on top and sprinkle the almonds over.
7. Bake for 30-35 minutes. If the nuts get too brown, cover with foil for the remainder of your baking time.
8. Leave to cool in the tin, then cut into slices.
