Ingredients:

• 100g oat flour
• 50g spelt flour
• 50g ground almonds or almond flour
• 50g Natvia sweetener
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
• 2 tablespoons flaxseeds (mixed with 4 tablespoons water)
• Zest and juice of 2 lemons
• 3 tablespoons oil (light olive, rapeseed or melted coconut oil)
• 150ml almond milk
• 1 teaspoon apple cider or white wine vinegar
• ½ teaspoon almond extract
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• 150g fresh or frozen raspberries

For the topping -

• 3 tablespoons rolled oats
• 3 tablespoons flaked almonds
• 1 tablespoon Natvia sweetener
• 1 tablespoon oil

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and lightly grease and line a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin.
2. Mix together the flours, almonds, Natvia, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. Stir the flaxseeds and water and set aside for 10 minutes.
3. Add the lemon zest and juice, oil, milk, vinegar, almond, and vanilla extract along with the flaxseed mixture to the dry ingredients and mix well to form a slightly thick batter.
4. Spoon into the prepared tin and spread out evenly. Scatter over the raspberries to cover.
5. Mix together the topping ingredients then sprinkle over the fruit evenly Bake in the oven for about 35-40 minutes (cover after about 10 minutes to prevent the flaked almonds from burning), until firm to the touch.
6. Leave to cool in the tin, then carefully remove and slice into 6. Enjoy! Keep any remaining slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
