3. Stir in caster sugar, then add egg and vanilla, and stir to form a sticky, clumpy mixture.

5. Spread jam over the top, then scatter with the berries and figs.

6. Mix remaining oat mixture with demerara sugar and extra 1 tbs oats, then dot over the fruit.

7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and crisp.

8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
