1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the flour, oats and sugar into a large bowl. Rub the butter into the flour mixture using your fingertips until only small pea-size pieces remain. Stir through the coconut, then fill a teacup with the mixture and set this aside.
2. Stir the eggs into the bowl of mixture, then spread over the bottom of a lined baking tin (31 x 17cm), or a 21cm square tin. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon, then scatter over the blackberries. Scatter over the reserved teacup mixture and bake for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins until golden and cooked through (if you poke a skewer in, it should come out with moist crumbs but no wet mixture). Leave to cool, then remove from the tin and cut into squares. Serve with some extra berries, if you like. Great for teatime or to pop into a lunchbox.

  Oh wow! I made this at the weekend, but substituted mulberries for blackberries as I have access to a mulberry tree which is dripping with fruit at the moment. It is fantastic! I also sprinkled a little extra demerara sugar over the top before baking. It is so moist and delicately coconutty, and the bright purple fruits look fantastic against the pale sponge. I made 2 trays of this as I had so many berries. I took one tray round to my sister's to let her have a few pieces, and she wouldn't let me take any home! I planned on freezing one, but after the weekend, the family have devoured the lot and are asking when I'll make it again! Top marks from me! Try it, it's sooo good!

  Very very nice indeed and super easy to make. Enjoyed by all who ate it. We used a mix of berries from the garden and it worked a treat. As I am coconut mad, I sprinkled more on top prior to baking along with a little bit of mixed spice.

  I tried this with unsalted butter. It was delicious but I felt the topping had a tendency to be a bit dry. Might try to soak the coconut before doing the main mixture.

  So so easy and so so good. I used normal white sugar and raspberries instead and it was soooo good. Will definately bake this again!

  It was delicious, I might added a bit more desiccated coconut in the mix next time. It never made it to the freezer.

  These had a lovely texture but far too much sugar. I think it spoilt the natural taste of the blackberries.

  I soaked the coconut after the previous comment about it being dry and also cut the sugar down to 200g which was plenty sweet enough. Really delish!

  These were incredibly simple to make and really very good, I didn't change a thing, the topping wasn't too dry, no one found them too sweet, in fact everyone loved them.
