Method

  • step 1

    Grease and line a 20cm square cake tin with baking parchment.

  • step 2

    Put the dried fruit in a mixing bowl. Add the seeds, oats and cereal, and mix well.

  • step 3

    Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup in the saucepan. Cook gently on the hob, stirring with the spatula, until the butter and sugar are melted.

  • step 4

    Remove from the heat and pour the dry ingredients into the saucepan. Mix well until all the ingredients are coated with the syrup mix.

  • step 5

    Fill the baking tin with the mixture. Use the spatula to press the mix down evenly. Bake at 160C/140C fan/gas 3 for 20 mins, then leave to cool completely before cutting into squares or fingers. Store in an airtight tin for up to 3 days – if they last that long!

Delicious. I threw in a bit of extra fruit too. Also cut into 16 bars 153 kcal each. Nice for a snack and sugar content is similar or more in shop bought.

Please can you have more recipes for bars without sugar? I was going to save this as a great breakfast bar but then saw sugar. Why would you make something that starts your day off with so much sugar 🙈🙈🙈

I think there is something fundamentally wrong with the ingredient quantities with this recipe. I only used half the syrup as it was all I had but the bars were sticky, over-sweet and crumbly. I make a similar style bar based on a Nigella Lawson recipe and the ratio of dry ingredients to wet (in…
