Ingredients:
- 1 cup Lifestyle Food Rolled Oats Large Flakes , ground into flour
- ¾ cup Lifestyle Food Rolled Oats Large Flakes
- ⅓ cup sugar (your choice of type)
- Pinch of salt
- 100g soft margarine or butter
- Berry jam (enough to cover the base)
- Cornstarch (to thicken the jam)
Method:
- Prepare the Oat Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Lifestyle Food Rolled Oats Large Flakes ground, ¾ cup of Lifestyle Food Rolled Oats Large Flakes whole, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mix these dry ingredients together.
- Rub in the Butter: Add the soft margarine or butter to the oat mixture. Using your fingers, rub it in until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined. This texture is crucial for forming the perfect crumble topping and base.
- Form the Base: Take three-quarters of your oat mixture and press it firmly into a square baking tin lined with parchment paper. Ensure it’s even and compact as this will form the stable base of your bars.
- Add the Berry Layer: Spoon a generous amount of berry jam over the oat base. To help the jam set and not ooze out when baking, sprinkle a thin layer of cornstarch over the jam and gently mix it into the jam using a spoon or your fingers.
- Top It Off: Crumble the remaining oat mixture over the jam layer, spreading it evenly to cover the jam completely.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Place the baking tin in the oven and bake the crumble bars for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the jam is bubbly.
- Cool and Slice: Once baked, remove the bars from the oven and let them cool in the tin. Once they’re cool, lift them out using the edges of the parchment paper and slice them into squares or rectangles.
