Ingredients
 
 

Fruity layer:

  • 240 g fresh strawberries (hulled and diced)
  • 240 g fresh blueberries
  • 240 g fresh raspberries
  • 45 g cornflour
  • 60 g maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice

Flapjack and crumble layers:

  • 250 g porridge oats (gluten free)
  • 90 g oat flour (gluten free)
  • 115 g coconut sugar
  • 115 g coconut oil (melted)
  • 100 g maple syrup
  • 75 g pecans (roughly chopped)

Equipment

  • 20cm Square Baking Tin (with a removable base)

Instructions
 

Fruity layer:

  • Add the berries to a saucepan and stir in the cornflour, followed by the maple syrup and lemon juice.
    240 g fresh strawberries, 240 g fresh blueberries, 240 g fresh raspberries, 45 g cornflour, 60 g maple syrup, 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • Place the saucepan over a medium heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the mixture is nice and thick (the consistency of jam). Stir the mixture regularly whilst it is cooking so that it doesn’t burn.

Flapjack and crumble layers:

  • Whilst the berries are cooking, preheat the oven to 170°C fan (190°C conventional / 375°F / gas mark 5) and line a 20cm (8”) square baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Stir together the oats, oat flour and coconut sugar.
    250 g porridge oats, 90 g oat flour, 115 g coconut sugar
  • Stir in the melted coconut oil and maple syrup until combined.
    115 g coconut oil, 100 g maple syrup
  • Separate off 1/4 of the mixture and stir the pecans into this 1/4 batch. Reserve this for the crumble topping.
    75 g pecans
  • Press the remaining 3/4 of the mixture firmly into the lined baking tin to form a flapjack-style base. Use something with a flat base such as a mug to press the flapjack layer down firmly to flatten it out and compact the mixture.
  • Once the fruity mixture has reached a thick and jammy consistency, pour it over on top of the flapjack base.
  • Sprinkle over the crumble and pecan topping.
  • Bake for 40 minutes until golden.
  • Leave to cool completely before slicing (ideally at least 4 hours in the fridge).
  • Serve the slices as they are or with hot dairy free custard. Yum!
