Ingredients
- 300 g Porridge Oats
- 115 g Soft Light Brown Sugar
- 150 g Golden Syrup
- 180 g Butter or Margarine
- 6 tablespoons Strawberry Jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and line a deep baking tray.
- Pour the oats into a large mixing bowl.
- In a small saucepan over a gentle heat, melt together the butter, sugar and syrup, stirring constantly until the mix is smooth and even – do not let it come to the boil, or it will start to thicken into caramel.
- Pour this mixture over the oats.
- Mix carefully until the oats are all wet.
- Spoon just under half of the oats into the baking tin.
- Use a spoon or your fingers to press down, and out to the edges until you’ve got a flat, even layer in the bottom of the tin.
- Spoon on the jam and use the back of a metal spoon to spread evenly.
- Spoon on the remaining oats, and use your fingers or a spoon to spread to the edges and press down to a flat, even layer.
- Bake in the oven for around 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown.
- Leave in the tin to cool completely, before tipping out and slicing.
