Blueberry & Lemon Oaty Breakfast Bars

These chewy oat bars with a fruity blueberry layer are perfect for breakfast on the go or an afternoon snack.

Ingredients 450g Hamlyns Scottish Porridge Oats

300g butter or dairy free spread 200g brown sugar

4 tbsp golden syrup Finely grated peel of 2 lemons 6 heaped tbsp blueberry jam 200g blueberries Method

1. Preheat the oven to 150ºC/ 300ºF/gas 2, and grease and line two square 20cm x 20cm brownie tins.

2. In a small pan, melt the butter or dairy free spread, brown sugar, golden syrup and lemon peel.

3. Put the oats into a large bowl, then pour in the melted butter and sugar.

4. Divide the mixture into the two tins and press down until smooth, leaving some of the mixture in the bowl to add to the top as a crumble.

5. Spread the jam over the top of the oaty mix, then top with the blueberries and sprinkle the remaining oaty mixture in between the blueberries. Leave some of the jam showing.

6. Bake for 40 minutes. It will be starting to turn golden at the edges when you take it out and will be quite soft, but it will firm up as it cools.

7. Leave in the tins to cool for a while, then remove from the tins and place on a cooling rack until completely cool.

8. Cut into bars and serve.
