- 150 g (5.3 oz) raspberry jam

- Mix together the oats, flour, baking powder, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
- Add the vegan butter or coconut oil and rub in using your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
- Tip about two thirds of the mixture into the prepared tin. Spread it out level and pack it down very firmly.
- Bake for about 15 minutes until golden around the edges.
- To make the filling, mix the cornflour and lemon juice together in a large bowl to make a paste. Stir in the jam followed by the berries.
- Tip the filling over the base and spread level.

- Leave to cool in the tin then carefully lift it out using the baking parchment, cut into squares and serve.
