flahavans Take a break from the pre-Christmas prep and bake up a batch of these moreish White Chocolate Drizzled Berry Oat Bars – the perfect snack to enjoy in front of your favourite family movie this afternoon 🙂 #FlahavansOats
Drizzle: 50g Butlers White Chocolate with Coconut & Almond Bar 1 tsp coconut oil
Method:
Preheat oven to 160°C (140°C Fan/325°F/Gas Mark 3) and line a 20cm (8 inch) square baking tin with parchment paper.
Melt the coconut oil, maple syrup and nut butter together in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Remove from the heat, then add the oats and stir to coat thoroughly. Gently fold in the berries.
Spread the mixture into the prepared baking tin, then press firmly with the back of a large spoon so the mixture is even and well packed. Bake until the sides start to turn golden brown, about 18–22 minutes.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the baking tin. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour.
Prepare the drizzle by melting the white chocolate with coconut and almond in the microwave in 10–15 second bursts, stirring in between, until the chocolate has mostly melted.
Remove from the microwave and stir until the residual heat has melted the remaining chocolate. Add the coconut oil and stir until the drizzle is smooth. Drizzle over the top of the bars with a spoon.
Remove from the tin, then use a large sharp knife to cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
