because the main ingredient is oats it sounds deceptively healthy but there is nothing healthy about it if you look at all the butter and sugar that goes in it.
Having said that you can reduce the level of guilt consciousness by replacing golden syrup with maple syrup.
Ingredients
150 grams Butter
100 grams caster sugar
175ml golden syrup
450 gram mixture of nuts and fruits and oats
I used nearly 200grams of oats ,150grams chopped dates and dried figs 50-100 grams toasted and chopped hazel nuts and pumpkin seeds and few raisins.
4 Fresh figs copped in round slices.
Method
Pre heat oven to 180c.
In a large pan melt butter and sugar and golden syrup.As soon as it melts add all the dry ingrients including oats.
When well combined transfer to a tray lined with parchment paper and press down.
Scatter fresh figs on top and sprinkle some more syrup/sugar over it.
Bake in the oven at 180c for 25-30 minutes.
while it is still warm make some indentations to the size you want to cut later.
