Ingredients

  • 200 g traditional / steel-cut oats
  • 140 g almonds
  • 110 g honey
  • 60 g unsalted butter or coconut oil
  • 50 g brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
  • 90 g raisins
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Toast the oats in the oven at 180C for about 10min or until golden. Make sure to stir halfway through.

  2. Toast the almonds separately at the same temperature until fragrant.

  3. Put the honey, butter, brown sugar and vanilla essence in a pot over medium heat until the mix starts boiling.

  4. Add the rest of the ingredients off the heat in the pot and mix.

  5. Transfer to a mould lined with baking paper and press down hard. Take your time to do this because on it depends the stability of their shape afterwards.

  6. Let it cool down to room temperature and then take to the fridge for at least 4 hours.

  7. Take out using the baking paper and cut into bars. 

  8. Wrap in baking paper and keep in the fridge.
