I've been baking up a storm this weekend and thought I'd share with you an old favourite of mine – choc apricot and oat slice. Better than any store-bought muesli bar and a lot more satisfying. Enjoy!
Makes approximately 20 pieces
Ingredients
1/2 cup self-raising flour
1/2 cup plain flour
1 cup rolled oats
2/3 cup desiccated coconut
2/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
2/3 cup dried apricots, chopped
3/4 cup choc bits or chopped chocolate
125g butter, melted, cooled
1 egg, lightly whisked
Extra butter for greasing pan
Method
Preheat oven to 180°C. Brush a 17 x 27cm slice tray with melted butter to lightly grease. Line the tray with baking paper, including the sides.Sift the flours into a bowl, then add the oats, coconut, sugar, apricot and choc bits, and stir to combine. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the melted butter and egg (make sure the melted butter is not too hot, otherwise it will start to set the egg). Use a wooden spoon, then your hands to combine. Spoon mixture into prepared pan and press it down until it is evenly distributed. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden (set on middle oven rack for best results). Remove from oven and allow to cool completely. Cut into squares to serve. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
