OLD FASHIONED OATS RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix oats and boiling water; let stand 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350°F. Grease 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray; lightly flour.
• In large bowl, beat granulated sugar, 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in vanilla and eggs. Beat in oat mixture and remaining cake ingredients until well blended, scraping bowl occasionally. Spread batter evenly in pan.
• Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Set oven control to broil. In small bowl, beat 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup butter and the half-and-half with electric mixer on high speed until smooth. Stir in coconut and nuts. Spoon over warm cake; spread to cover.
• Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until bubbly and light golden brown. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Melt the butter and sugar with the golden syrup in a large saucepan, then stir in the oats until combined.
• Spoon the mix into the prepared tin, then press firmly to the edges with the back of a wooden spoon. Bake for 20 minutes until lightly golden and just set but still feeling squidgy. They will firm up as they cool.
• Run a knife around the edge of the tin and mark into 36 even squares. Leave in the tin on a wire rack until completely cool, then slice.
