50g (3-1/2 tablespoons)mixed dried fruit (a mixture of raisins, sultanas and apricots is nice)
50g (3-1/2 tablespoons)mixed seed
140g (approx. 1 cup) oats
25g (1-3/4 tablespoon) multi-grain hoop cereal
100g (8-1/2 tablespoons) butter
100g (8-1/2 tablespoons) light muscovado sugar
100g (7.3 tablespoons) golden syrup

Method

Grease and line a 20cm (8x2 square pan=8 cups) square cake tin with baking parchment.

Put the dried fruit in a mixing bowl. Add the seeds, oats and cereal, and mix well.

Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup in the saucepan. Cook gently on the hob, stirring with the spatula, until the butter and sugar are melted.

Remove from the heat and pour the dry ingredients into the saucepan. Mix well until all the ingredients are coated with the syrup mix.

Fill the baking tin with the mixture. Use the spatula to press the mix down evenly. Bake at 160C/140C fan/gas 3(350F/225F) for 20 mins, then leave to cool completely before cutting into squares or fingers. Store in an airtight tin for up to 3 days – if they last that long!
