Makes: 20 pieces
Time: 60 minutes
INGREDIENTS
2 cups quick rolled oats
1 cup walnuts
⅓ cup flour
100g butter
⅓ cup sugar
2 heaped tbsp honey
¼ tsp salt
METHOD
Lightly roast the walnuts in a 100°C oven for 15 minutes. Remove, and turn the oven up to 180°C. Line a sponge roll tin (20 x 30cm) with baking paper.
Chop the walnuts – aim for a mixture of chunky pieces and finer crumbs. Add to a mixing bowl with the oats, flour, and salt. Gently heat the butter, sugar, and honey together in a small pot. Mix well with the dried ingredients.
Press the mixture into the tin with the back of a spoon or your fingers. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until golden brown. Cut into squares while still warm and refrigerate to set.
