How to make

  1. Preheat the oven to 150C/ Gas mark 2.
  2. Line a medium-sized baking tin with baking paper, using a little of the butter to grease.

  4. Once melted, stir in the golden syrup or honey, along with the chocolate, vanilla extract and light brown sugar.
  5. Once the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth, remove the pan from the heat, and fold in the oats or granola until everything is fully combined.
  6. If desired, add in a handful of nuts, chocolate chips or dried fruit to the mixture and stir.
  7. Pour the mixture into the lined baking tin and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
