Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Gently heat the sugar, golden syrup and butter in a pan until the sugar and butter have both melted. Stir the oats, raisins, walnuts, seeds and cranberries into the pan until coated in the butter.

  • step 2

    Spoon half the oaty mix into a traybake tin (23 x 23cm or thereabouts). Scatter the apricots over the top, then top with the remaining oat mix. Pack the mix down well and smooth with the back of a metal spoon. Bake for 35 mins or until dark golden. Leave to cool completely before cutting into 16 bars with a sharp knife.

question

Is there a better way to cut them up? I let mine get completely cold, then cut them and they completely crumbled into a big heap and can only be eaten with a teaspoon

Hello. We would recommend cutting these a room temperature. If they are too cold they are likely to be harder to cut. Thanks for your question - Good Food Team.

A really tasty snack, will definitely make these again. Used soft light brown sugar, less walnuts than in recipe and a few unsalted cashews. Keep well in airtight container, but will soon be gone anyway!

question

Can these be frozen? Or do people just store in the fridge/cupboard? Also, if I use less sugar, do I need to replace it with something?

Thes will keep in an airtight conatiner for up to a week but won't freeze well. The sugar acts as the glue holding the bars together, it you reduce the sugar they won't hold together as well. Thanks, Barney

Absolutely gorgeous! I used 100g muscovado, 3 tablespoons honey and 140g Coconut oil instead of the butter, I didn't have apricots but used dried figs and some dried dates and they turned out fab. Only problem is you can't just eat one!!. Just away to look out the ingredients to make these again.
