Raspberry Oat Traybake Recipes

RASPBERRY OAT TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Grease a 20cm x 20cm baking tray. Mash the raspberries roughly in a bowl and set aside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and honey with a pinch of salt. Take off the heat, then stir in the oats, ground almonds and almond extract. Mix until they are coated in the butter and honey mixture.
• Press half the oat mix in an even layer in the baking tray. Spread the mashed raspberries on top, then spoon the remaining oats on top and smooth with the back of a spoon. Bake for 10-12 mins or until golden. Remove from the oven and leave to cool before slicing into 16.

RASPBERRY & ALMOND TRAYBAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/fan160C/gas 4. Butter an oblong cake tin (about 31 x 17 x 3cm). Tip the flour, ground almonds, butter and sugar into a food processor and whizz just until the butter is evenly distributed - or rub together by hand. Remove 85g/3oz of the mix, stir in the coconut and put to one side. Add the eggs to the remaining mixture in the food processor and whizz quickly - or mix with a wooden spoon. It doesn't need to be very smooth.
• Spread this mixture over the base of the tin, then scatter half the raspberries over the top. Sprinkle with the coconut mixture and bake for 45 mins. Dot the remaining fruit over the surface and cook for a further 15 mins, until firm to the touch. Cool in the tin and cut into slices, squares, whichever shape you want. They will keep for up to 2 days in the fridge.

RASPBERRY OATMEAL

Steps:

• Cook oats according to directions on package.
• When you add the oats to the milk, add the raspberries as well if you are using frozen. Otherwise, skip this step.
• When oats are done, add remaining ingredients and mix well. Yum!
