Tasty treats part 2- Fruity Oaty Bars

Okay. Now that's out of the way. Here is what you will need-

250g butter
200g light brown sugar
75g caster sugar
2 eggs 1 tsp vanilla
150g flour
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp salt
260g oats
100g pecans (or walnuts or any kind of nut you want really)
100g sultanas (or dried cranberries or any kind of dried fruit you want really. Or chocolate chps even, ooh, yeah, that's a good idea. Those would be good...)
1 tbsp plain yoghurt
100g icing sugar






Start by preheating your oven to 170c then mixing together the butter, brown sugar and caster sugar




Until thoroughly mixed and light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, mixing them in thoroughly and the vanilla, if it starts to split add a spoonful of the flour and that should stop it in it's tracks.




Throw in the flour, salt and bicarb then mix it all in-




Add in the oats-



Then the dried fruit-




Pour into a greased, lined baking dish and pop into the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.




Allow to cool thoroughly, then make an icing by mixing together the yoghurt and icing sugar and drizzle over the top. Cut into pieces and enjoy. I hope.
