Makes 16 bars
Ingredients:
190g butter or spread
280g soft brown sugar
4 tblsp golden syrup
370g oats
Method:
Heat the oven to 180C (or 170 fan)
Melt the spread, brown sugar and syrup in a small saucepan over a low heat, stirring lightly, until the ingredients are mixed together.
Put the oats into a bowl, then pour in the contents of the pan, and mix together until well blended.
Line an ovenproof tray, 25cm x 20cm in size, with baking paper, then spoon the mixture in, pushing into the corners and smoothing the top so it's fairly even.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until the top is just starting to turn darker golden (or longer if you prefer them more crunchy). Remove from the oven, then leave to cool in the pan for about ten minutes. Cut into squares or rectangles in the pan, then turn out when cold.
