Ingredients

  • 50g of honey

  • 160g butter

  • 90g brown sugar

  • 50g of pecan nuts

  • 80g dried cranberries

  • 250g porridge oats

  • 80g golden sultanas

  • 1 tbsp of sesame seeds

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180ÂșC. Line a nine-inch square baking tin with parchment.

  2. Put the honey, butter and sugar into a saucepan and ask an adult to put it on the hob for you. Over a low heat melt them all together.

  3. Carefully chop the nuts and the cranberries.

  4. Put the oats into a big bowl and add in the nuts, cranberries, sultanas and sesame seeds. Stir in the butter mixture until everything is coated and completely mixed.

  5. Scoop the mixture into your lined baking tin and press it down with your fingers. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden. Allow it to cool in the tin.

  6. Gently pull the edge of parchment paper and slide the whole lot out of the tin in one go. Then ask an adult to help you cut it into as many bars as you like.
