Chocolate Oat Biscuit Bars

I adapted this recipe from Joe Saegar’s Chocolate Chunk Oat Biscuits

Ingredients

125 grams butter

¼ cup sugar + 1 tablespoon

2 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (or golden syrup if you don’t have condensed milk)

½ cup plain flour

¼ cup self raising flour

¾ cup rolled oat

50 gram dark chocolate and 50 grams milk chocolate roughly chopped (I use Whitaker’s for both – for high cocoa content)

Method

Beat butter, sugar and golden syrup until creamy. Add flour and rolled oat and then chopped chocolate. Line square baking tin with baking paper and place the dough on the tin. Spread and flatten evenly (I put another piece of baking paper on top of the dough and use potato masher to flatten it). Put the tin in the freezer for about 20 minutes.

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degree C and line the baking sheet with baking paper. Remove the paper from the dough and cut into 12 bars. Place them on the lined baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.

Cool on wire rack and store in an air-tight container.
