Oat and Honey Bars

This recipe comes straight from the halls of Ballymaloe Cookery School in Cork, Ireland, where Abra trained. It is delicious on its own right or alongside stewed fruit and custard or yogurt.

Please note that all of the ingredients with an oz measurement need to be weighed. A volume measure will change the texture of the bars. They are also very buttery, so be prepared!

Ingredients

12 oz butter

8 oz sugar

1 T honey

16 oz rolled oats (not instant)

1/4 tsp salt

Method

Heat oven to 350F
Melt the butter, add the sugar and honey and stir to combine.
Place the oats and salt in a medium mixing bowl.
Pour the butter mixture over the oats and salt and stir to coat evenly.
Pour the oat mixture on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown and caramelized (about 20 minutes).
Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes then slice into bars.
Serve fully cooled but not chilled.
