These Oat & Cranberry Bars are the perfect blend of convenience and indulgence. They’re easy to make, packed with flavour and a healthier alternative to store-bought snacks. The combination of tart cranberries and sweet, nutty almonds in a soft, chewy bar is irresistible.
Ingredients:
- 100g self raising flour
- 100g rolled oats
- 100g Light Muscovado Sugar
- 100g dried cranberries
- 100g butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon golden syrup
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract
- 3 tbsp flaked almonds
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the self-raising flour, oatmeal and light muscovado sugar.
Stir in the dried cranberries, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour in the melted butter and golden syrup. Add the beaten egg and vanilla or almond extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are well combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
Sprinkle the flaked almonds over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centre has set.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes. Then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
When cool, dust with icing sugar and cut into bars.
