Ingredients

140g light muscovado sugar
3 tbsp golden syrup
140g butter
250g rolled oats
50g raisins

Method

Heat the oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Gently heat the sugar, golden syrup and butter in a pan until melted. Stir the oats, raisins, walnuts and seeds into the pan until coated in the butter.
