Chocolate Oaties

 

Ingredients:

125g (4oz) butter

125g (4oz) self-raising flour

125g (4oz) light brown soft sugar

125g (4oz) porridge oats

1/2 tsp bicarbonate soda

1 tbsp golden syrup

125g (4oz) milk or plain chocolate, melted

Method:

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4 and lightly grease two baking sheets. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, oats and soda. Set aside.

In a small pan, melt butter and golden syrup. Add to the dry mixture and combine.

Divide mixture into 16 and squeeze each portion into a ball. Arrange on the baking sheets, spacing apart, and squash down a little.

Bake for 15-18min until golden. Leave to cool for 3min on the trays, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (or microwave on full power in a glass bowl for 20sec bursts).

Using a pastry brush, paint half of each biscuit, on the top and bottom, with chocolate. Alternatively, drizzle the chocolate liberally over biscuits. Transfer biscuits to a wire rack and allow to set before serving.
