Pour
half of the oat mixture into your baking tray, pressing down with a spoon to create an even layer (a slightly wet spoon will help when doing this).
Pour the wet mixture on
top of the oat mixture in the food processor and process until the mixture comes together, 10 to 15 seconds.
Scatter the raspberries on top, sprinkle the
rest of the oat mixture over, then the rest of the pine nuts and press everything down lightly.
In the mornings, you'll want to add 2/3 cup of liquid per portion (I have to double that because I did 2 portions in each baggie) to your bowl with a
baggie of your oat mixture.
Press 2 /
3rds of the oat mixture into your lined baking tray, using the back of a spoon to spread the mixture around (a wet spoon will stop it from sticking).
Drop about two
thirds of the oat mixture into the base of the tin, spread it out and press down very lightly — don't pack it too firmly.
Press half the mixture into the lined tin, spread evenly with the date paste then top with the
rest of the oat mixture (it helps if you crumble it up and sprinkle it over the date paste, then press it down afterwards).
To bake later in the day or the next morning: Cover your dish tightly with plastic wrap, pressing the plastic directly on
top of the oat mixture.
Reserve 1/2 cup
of oat mixture.
I only put frozen berries on top
of the oat mixture - it turned out amazing and was easy.
Add the remaining half
of the oat mixture to the top of the date layer, using a spatula to press down the oats.
Add half
of the oat mixture to a small parchment lined baking dish (I used a loaf pan, but an 8in x 8in would be perfect).
Reserve 1 cup
of oat mixture; set aside.
