Ingredients

For the base:

  • 100g Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 135g Peanut Butter, smooth
  • 100g Caster Sugar
  • 180g All-purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 200g Strawberry Jam
  • 150g Strawberries

For the oat crumble:

  • 100g Unsalted Butter
  • 150g Rolled Oats
  • 80g All-purpose Flour
  • 80g Brown Sugar

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C. Prepare a square baking tin by lining it with baking paper. Set aside.
  2. Start by making the base. In a clean bowl, use a handheld mixer to mix softened butter and peanut butter until combined.
  3. Add the caster sugar and mix again. Finally, add the flour and baking powder, mix well to combine. The mixture should be quite crumbly.
  4. Place the mixture in your prepared baking tray, making sure to spread evenly and press it down to smooth the top. Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
  5. When your base is baked, take it out of the oven and set aside. Mix the chopped strawberries and the jam in a small bowl and spread the mixture all over the base. Make sure to spread it equally and all the way to the sides.
  6. Finally, prepare your oat crumble. In a clean bowl, place the butter, oats, flour and brown sugar. Use your fingers to pinch and mix the ingredients all together. After a couple of minutes, the mixture should be ready, with a crumble like consistency.
  7. Sprinkle your oat crumble on top. Bake in the oven for another 25 minutes or until the top is golden.
  8. Let cool in tin, then remove from tin to cut into squares. Enjoy! :)
