Blackberry & Coconut Squares
Prep Time: 15
Cook: 1hr
Serves: 12 squares
Ingredients:
- 250g self-raising flour
- 25g oats
- 280g soft brown sugar
- 200g cold butter
- cut into pieces
- 75g desiccated coconut
- 2 medium eggs
- beaten
- 350g frozen or fresh blackberry
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan/gas mark 4).
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, and sugar. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles small pea-sized crumbs.
- Stir in the coconut, then fill a teacup with the mixture and set it aside.
- Add the eggs to the bowl and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into a lined baking tin (31 x 17cm or a 21cm square tin). Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon, then scatter the blackberries on top.
- Sprinkle the reserved teacup mixture over the blackberries and bake for 1 hour or until golden brown and cooked through. (To test, insert a skewer – it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet batter.)
- Let cool, then remove from the tin and cut into squares. Serve with extra berries if desired. Perfect for teatime or as a lunchbox treat.
