Oat Crispy

Breakfast cereal, snack or dessert topping.


Ingredients
300g porridge oats
200g jumbo oats
200g butter
4Tbsp molasses, malt extract, honey or a mixture of all three
100-150g sugar
1Tbsp flour
1tsp cinnamon (optional)

Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
Melt together the butter, molasses and sugar. Stir until a uniform, homogenised mass, which should be like runny toffee.
Mix the rest of the ingredients together in a big bowl, add the liquid and stir until all the oats are coated. This takes a while. Don’t be tempted to add more liquid!

Spread onto a lined baking tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 10-15 minutes.

For a chunks, mix up half way through the bake. Allow to cool for 5 minutes, and then loosen up the chunks before allowing cooling completely. Store in an airtight container.

For flapjacks, press the mix firmly into the tray before going into the oven and don’t mix. Leave to cool in the tray for 5 minutes, then cut into squares. Leaving it longer than 5 minutes will make it harder to cut.
