Ingredients

  • 120g unsalted butter
  • 45g golden syrup
  • 70g caster sugar
  • 200g whole oats

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 4/350oF/180oC. Grease and line a baking tin with parchment paper. For this recipe, I ususally use a tin that measures 27 x 20cm (10 x 8 inches) but you can also use a baking tin that measures 20 x 20 cm (8 x 8 inch). Allow the parchment paper to overhang on two opposite sides to help removing them from the tin easier.
  • Add the butter to a microwavable bowl and microwave in 40 second increments until fully melted. Remove from the microwave and immediately mix in the golden syrup and caster sugar. Combine well then fold in the oats ensuring all the oats are fully coated with the butter mix. As you’re folding in the oats use your spatula or spoon and crush the oats into the mixture. You don’t have to fully crush the oats. 
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and press down with the back of a spoon. Ensure it is tight and well compact. Bake in the centre of the oven for 25 minutes. It should be golden brown when done.
  • Allow to cool for 20 minutes then score the top of the bars where you want to cut them. This makes them easier to cut once cooled. Allow them to cool then cut where you scored them and enjoy!
