Ingredients
- 300 g porridge/rolled oats
- 150 g unsalted butter or baking spread
- 150 g brown sugar
- 4 tbsp honey
- 100 g dried cranberries & Raisins
- 20 g almond flakes
Instructions
Preheat & Prepare
- Heat oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / Gas 6. Line a 20 x 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper.
Make the Syrup Base
- In a saucepan, melt together the butter, brown sugar, honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir until bubbling and fully combined.
Mix in the Goodness
- Take off the heat, then stir in the oats, cranberries, and raisins until well coated.
Bake the Bars
- Tip the mixture into your prepared tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon to even it out. Scatter over the almond flakes. Bake for 20 minutes until golden at the edges.
Cut & Cool
- Remove from the oven and leave for about 5 minutes. While still warm, cut into 12 bars (or larger squares if you prefer). Leave to cool completely in the tin before lifting out and transferring to an airtight container.
Notes
- For extra crunch, toast the almonds lightly before sprinkling on top.
- Swap the cranberries & raisins for apricots, cherries, or mixed seeds to mix things up.
- These bars keep well in an airtight tin for up to a week – perfect for batch prep!
