BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE SQUARES These delicious square BLACKBERRY CRUMBLE SQUARES

These delicious squares are so easy to make and taste wholesome and heartwarming!  The perfect combo of sweetness, tang and toasty crumbly texture.
Recipe below:
Ingredients:
190g Plain flour
140g + 2 tbsp light brown soft sugar
165g cold unsalted butter
150g Jumbo rolled oats
50g pecans roughly chopped
1 tsp vanilla extract
200g Blackberries (or raspberries)
1 tsp cornflour
2 tbsp
Zest of 1 lemon and 1 tbsp of the juice

1)      In a small sauce pan, heat up the blackberries with a squeeze of lemon juice and the 2 tbsp of sugar and mash them down as they reduce.

2)      Make a slurry with the tsp of cornflour and add to the blackberries and stir well to make them gel together. Leave to cool.

3)      Heat the oven to 180C or 160C fan and line a 20cm baking tin with baking paper.

4)      Put the flour, brown sugar, vanilla, and butter in a food processor and pulse till it comes together in a dough.

5)      Transfer it into another bowl and add the oats, mixing them into the dough.

6)      Press 2/3 of the mixture into the tin as the base and partway up the sides (keeping the rest for the crumble topping).

7)      Add your cooled blackberry jammy mix and spread it over the base.

8)      Add your chopped pecans to the rest of the dough and crumble it over the top of the blackberry mixture.

9)      Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until the fruit is bubbling at the edges and the crumble is golden.

10)  Leave to cool completely in the tin and then slice to serve.

🌿PLANT-BASED GOODNESS🌿 Whilst I am not vege 🌿PLANT-BASED GOODNESS🌿

Whilst I am not vegetarian or vegan, I would say 80% of the meals we eat as a family  are plant-based, and this is because I believe it's better for my health... and better for the planet 🌍
Lentils and tofu are powerhouses of nutrients and fibre, and there are so many ways to make them delicious . These are just a few of my favourite dishes we are eating this week 👌🏽 I will be sharing some of these recipes at my Vegetarian Cookery course this Saturday ☺️🙌🏽

MARRAKECH APRIL 2026 I am so tardy with sharing th MARRAKECH APRIL 2026
I am so tardy with sharing this post 🙄 but I have been struggling to find the creative and mental energy to create content for my feed lately but really wanted to share the visual feast that is MARRAKECH!
If any of you have any questions or want some tips, feel free to dm me. I stayed at my favourite riad in the north of the medina called @palaissebban which is quite a large riad and has very easy access from the medina wall which is essential if you want to shop!
