To make the raspberry coulis, tip the raspberries, lemon juice, icing sugar and the cornflour into a pan and cook gently until the raspberries have softened and made a thick coulis. Push through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cool.

Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Melt the butter, golden syrup and peanut butter in a small pan. Tip the oats into a bowl and pour in the melted mixture from the pan and stir well. Gently fold in the raspberries and then drizzle in the raspberry coulis, and fold a few times to ripple. Tip into a lined 20cm square tin and press down. Put into the oven for 20-25 minutes or until browned at the edges. Cool completely then cut into 12 bars.
