Ingredients
Shortbread base:
- 175 grams flour cake or all-purpose
- 200 grams butter cold, salted, cut into cubes
- 50 grams sugar
Filling:
- 80 grams butter salted
- 65 grams white sugar
- 100 grams dark brown sugar
- 2 egg large, free-range
- ¾ tsp vanilla extract
- 70 grams rolled oats old fashioned not quick cook
- 50 grams pecan nut approx. 1/3 cup, chopped a mix of fine and rough
- 70 grams raisins 1/2 a cup
- 65 grams dark chocolate 70% cocoa (1/2 a cup, chips or slab roughly chopped
- sea salt flakes optional, light sprinkle
- icing sugar to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- Line an 20cm x 20cm (8inc x 8inch) square baking pan with non-stock baking paper.
- To make the shortbread dough, place the flour, butter, sugar into a bowl of a food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a dough. It will be quite soft.
- Lightly press the dough into the prepared baking pan and even out the surface. Bake for 20 minutes until starting to turn golden. Remove and allow to cool.
- While the shortbread base is baking, melt the butter in a medium pot. Cook this until it starts to go golden brown then take it off the heat.
- Add the sugars and allow to cool somewhat (it doesn’t not have to cool completely).
- Add the egg one at a time giving the mixture a good whisk in between.
- Add the vanilla, oats, raisins, and chocolate and give it a good mix.
- Spread this mixture over the baked shortbread and sprinkle lightly with sea salt flakes (optional). Put the pan back into the oven and bake for a further for 20 minutes. It should be golden brown and set.
- Allow to cool in the tin and then in the fridge to set further.
- Slice and dust with icing (powdered) sugar.
Notes
- Cooline these gooey oat bars in the fridge will firm them up making them easier to slice.
- They can be stored in an airtight container in a cool spot or in the fridge.
