Apple Cinnamon Oat Bars – Step by Step Picture Recipe

Here is what you will need to make 9 bars.

Ingredients

290g Ready/Quick Porridge Oats
2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
150g Dried Apple Pieces
1/4 tsp Salt
115g Unsalted Butter
100g Light Brown Sugar
60ml (75g) Golden Syrup
60ml Semi Skimmed Milk
1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Essential equipment

20 x 20cm (8 x 8″) Square Baking Tin
Food Processor

Instructions

Lightly grease and line the sides of the baking tin and preheat the oven to 170°C/Fan 160°C.

Blitz 175g of the porridge oats in a food processor until it almost becomes a fine flour.

Tip into a large bowl and mix with the remaining 115g of oats. Mix in the cinnamon, apple pieces and salt and set to one side.

In a medium saucepan, gently melt together the sugar, butter and golden syrup over a medium heat. Stir until the sugar is dissolved then remove from the heat.

Whisk in the milk and the vanilla extract.

Pour the mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon or spatula until all the oats are evenly coated and there are no dry patches left.

Tip it all into the prepared tin and press very firmly with the back of a metal spoon.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the edges have started to turn golden.

Allow to cool completely in the tin before removing and slicing into 9 pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.

I personally love breakfast and would never go without! For those that struggle though, these delicious oat bars are definitely the answer. Chewy, fruity, wholesome and pretty healthy! I can think of much worse ways to start your day.
