Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 30cm (8-inch x 12-inch) baking tin with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the unsalted butter (melted) to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve 100 grams of this mixture for the topping.
Press the remaining mixture evenly into the base of the prepared baking tin, using the back of a spoon or your hands to flatten it. This will form the shortbread base.
Bake the base in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until it is just starting to set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the partially baked base, ensuring it covers the surface completely.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the reserved crumb mixture with rolled oats and brown sugar. Mix well to create a crumbly topping.
Sprinkle the crumbly oat topping evenly over the layer of raspberry jam.
Return the baking tin to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
Remove the raspberry slice from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the tin.
Once cooled, lift the slice out of the tin using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 squares or slices, and serve.
