Method

1.Grease a baking tray and line with quality thick foil. Pre-heat the oven to 160ºC.

2. Melt the butter in a saucepan, once melted add the sugar and gently warm.

3. Remove from the heat and stir in the oats, golden syrup and your chosen flavour ingredients. Mix well and press into the baking tray using a palette knife or spatula (having been dipped in water to reduce sticking to your utensils).

4. Bake for approximately 20 minutes to a golden colour but not brown as if you leave it too long it will be too hard to cut.

5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool wrapped in foil to retain moisture. Once cooled, remove foil and using a large cook’s knife cut to the desired sizes.
