Libby's Easy-Peasy Recipe for Honey Oat Slice

If you've read my novel, The Long Road to Loving Mitchell, and licked your lips at the description of Libby's signature honey oat slice, here's the easy-peasy recipe (as passed down by Libby's mum, Rhonda):
 

Chocolate drizzle optional

Ingredients

·           1 cup rolled oats

·           1 cup sultanas/cranberries/mix of both

·           ½ cup SR flour

·           ½ cup raw or white sugar

·           ½ cup coconut

·           100 g butter

·           1 tabs honey (golden syrup is just as good/even better)

 

Method 

1.          Sift flour and add to dry ingredients in bowl.

2.          Melt the butter, add the honey/syrup to it and mix into the dry ingredients until the mixture clings together.

3.          Firmly press the mixture into a well-greased 11 x 7” lamington tin.

4.          Bake in moderate oven for 15-20 mins or until golden.

5.          Cut into bars while still hot and only remove from tin when cold.
