Apricot Oat Slice Recipe
Almonds pair perfectly with apricot, and one of my favourite ways to combine them is in this soft, juicy apricot oat slice recipe.
Servings: 16 squares
Equipment
- Large heatproof bowl
Ingredients
- 200 g salted butter (plus a little extra for greasing)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200 g golden syrup
- 200 g dried apricots roughly chopped
- 100 g almonds
- 400 g rolled oats
- 1 medium free range eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/390F (180C/355F fan assisted)
- Put the butter, vanilla and syrup in a microwave safe bowl. Melt in 30 second bursts, stirring between each burst until the butter has dissolved.
- Stir in the apricots, oats and nuts.
- Add the egg and stir through.
- Transfer the mixture to the greased tin and press down firmly all over.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, then leave to cool completely in the tin.
- When cooled, tip out and cut into 16 squares with a sharp knife.
