Crumbly raspberry and oat slices

Crumbly berry and oat slices
 
It is spring here, going into summer, so in a couple of months we should be inundated with berries! This is a delicious slice to make for an afternoon snack. I love raspberries in this, but then again I love raspberries in everything!!

100g plain flour
100g plain wholemeal flour
175g porridge oats
175g butter
150g sugar
Finely grated rid of 1 lemon
250g fresh or frozen berries
Icing sugar

1. Lightly butter base and sides of a shallow 27x18 rectangular baking tin or similar sized roasting tin
2. Put flour and oats in a bowl. Rub butter into them. Stir in sugar and lemon rind and continue to crumble the mixture until it starts to cling together.
3. Turn half the mixture into the tin and put it down into an even layer. Scatter the berries over the top. Sprinkle with the remaining crumble.
Bake in a preheated oven 180 degrees celcius for 45-60 minutes or until the topping is turning golden. Cut into fingers and leave to cool. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy!
