A tasty snack for all ages. I got this from my Aunt Christine, who always makes a double batch because they're eaten so quickly. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, chopped |
3/4 cup brown sugar |
3 tablespoons orange juice |
1 tablespoon honey |
1/2 cup chocolate chips |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped |
3 tablespoons sultana raisins |
3/4 cup oats |
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F, line a 9 x 11 inch (28 x 18 cm) pan with parchment paper, or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Melt the first four ingredients together in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Wave the pot to cool.
3. Combine the dry ingredients and then add the melted butter mixture (making sure it is not so hot that the chocolate chips will melt).
4. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and press it into an even layer with a spoon. Bake until the top has a light golden colour (set but not solid as it will crisp as it cools), around 15-20 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet until tepid, then cut into portions. Remove from sheet when cool and store in an airtight container.
