Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6). Line a 20 cm square tin with baking paper.
  2. Gently melt the butter, sugar, syrup and salt in a saucepan.
  3. Off the heat, stir in the oats and mix well to coat them.
  4. Add the raisins or coconut if you like.
  5. Press the mixture firmly into the tin with the back of a spoon.
  6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the edges are golden and the surface lightly coloured.
  7. Leave to cool for 10 minutes in the tin, then cut into 12 bars.
  8. Let them cool completely before removing from the tin so they become crisp.

Variations and tips

Chocolate version. Spread melted dark chocolate over the cooled top and let it set before cutting.
