250g unsalted butter
200g soft light brown sugar
150ml golden syrup
300g jumbo oats (we used Mornflake Scottish Gold)
250g superfast oats

You’ll also need…

20cm square baking tin lined with non-stick baking paper

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Melt the butter and sugar with the golden syrup in a large saucepan, then stir in the oats until combined.
Spoon the mix into the prepared tin, then press firmly to the edges with the back of a wooden spoon. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden and just set but still feeling squidgy. They will firm up as they cool.
Run a knife around the edge of the tin and mark into 36 even squares. Leave in the tin on a wire rack until completely cool, then slice.
