Filling

Decoration
- 50 grams Dark Chocolate (Optional)
Instructions
- Grease and line an 8×8 square tin with baking paper.
- Place your butter, sugar, nut butter, golden syrup and vanilla into a large pot. Put on a medium heat and melt till smooth.
- Add in your oats, cinnamon and hazelnuts and fold till all incorporated.
- Place half of your oat mix into your tin, press your mix in tight making sure it is nice and flat.
- Melt your chocolate and nutella in the microwave in short blasts till smooth, stir in your chopped hazelnuts.
- Pour this over your oat mix, smooth out.
- Sprinkle the rest of your oat mix on top of the chocolate layer. You can slightly press this into the chocolate to make sure it sticks.
- Set in the fridge until firm. About 1 hour.
- Portion into how many bars you like. You can make 8 large slices or 16 regular.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
- These can be made with any flavour nut you like, or no nuts at all! Peanut or pecan nuts would be a lovely substitute.
- Golden syrup can be replaced with honey.
- You can replace the dark chocolate with milk chocolate.
- If your not a fan of cinnamon you can leave it out.
- The Nutella isn’t essential, you can just do a chocolate filling.
- These oat bars can be made without a chocolate filling, just press all the oat mix straight into your tin then leave to set. You could even just do a small drizzle of chocolate on top.
