Raspberry Squares

Raspberry Squares

I love that this recipe uses only store cupboard ingredients and it’s quick, cheap and simple to make… and it tastes delicious! This slice is just jam-tastic!

Best of all, the only equipment you’ll need is a bowl and a spoon although if you’re feeling fancy you can use the Thermomix recipe.

I’ve used raspberry jam in this recipe but you can use whatever flavour you have to hand. I like using quick oats because they’re finer. If you have rolled oats, you can use them as is or mill them slightly for a finer texture.

Whatever jam or oats you use, this slice will be so nice! 

What’s your favourite flavour jam?
