• step 1

  Preheat the oven to 190°C, 375°F, Gas Mark 5. Grease a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

• step 2

  Put the oats and salt into a large mixing bowl and mix well. Create a well in the centre of the mixture.

• step 3

  Place the sugar and butter into a pan and heat until melted. Once melted, pour into the well and stir until mixed.
