Looks fantastic! What is golden syrup?
syrup which is made out of sugar. Like corn syrup except it comes from sugar not corn
A syrup you can find at the supermarket with other baking ingredients.
I prefer natural syrups like agave or maple syrup.
Would maple syrup be a good substitute?
Brown rice syrup is good I’ve used it in substitution for honey it has a thick texture.
Do you have nutritional facts for this?
Hi,
I used the VeryWell site to get the info. You just put the list of ingredients in and it does the work for you!
I didn’t realise it’s quite high in saturated fats though so next time I make it I’ll adjust it to lower this.
Myfitnesspal.com works well also
just made it tonight its very good
thank you
do you keep in the fridge after?
Hi Lyne, so glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂 Yes we keep in the fridge in an airtight box for up to 5 days. All the best 🙂 Roxy
What size baking dish
Hi Mary, we use a 18 x 12cm dish. Thanks, Roxy
Had to make this twice. Was converting cups to British measurements and there’s WAY too many oats. First attempt was dry crumbly muesli. Made it again with the equivalent of one cup of oats and with more banana and it worked. I think next time I will use even less oats. Maybe 3/4 of a cup instead.
Hi Claire, glad the recipe is working for you. Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)
Do you know the nutritional facts for this recipe? For the whole thing not individual portions?
many thanks
In two days I cooked this recipe for 3 times. It’s really delicious. My family really enjoyed it.
Hi Rita, that’s so amazing! So glad you and your family have been enjoying this recipe! All the best, Roxy
Just made it and love it , used all the ingredients as stated, and quantities except for the raisins and is fine
Forgot to say I checked the macros and its 302 cals if you divide them into 8 bars, I used 2 rect tins, high in sat fat though any ideas ??
Hi Yvette, glad you are enjoying the oat bars. They are our favourite, too 🙂 Thanks, Roxy (So Vegan)
You could use cranberries
What’s being added in the video (at:17) after the golden syrup and before the almond milk? Looks like an egg..
Hi LH, it’s the coconut oil and golden syrup mixture which was being heated in the previous shot. Hope this helps. Best, Roxy
How long do they keep for before going stale?
HI Clare, these will keep for up to 5 days in an airtight box kept in the fridge. All the best, Roxy
What is golden syrup? Honey?
Hi Marilyn, golden syrup is thick treacle. It’s not the same as honey. Hope this helps, Roxy
These have great flavour and not too sweet but they just don’t hold together well enough. I cut them in squares but they are fragile and crumble easily. Im not sure what they need but isn’t flax supposed to substitute for egg? Would that keep them together better?
Hi Janine, thanks for getting in touch. Yes a flax egg could be used to help bind the mixture. Also, what oven temperature did you use? It should be 200° C / 180° C fan. Hope this helps. All the best, Roxy
Goodness, these are so good! Thanks so much for the recipe. I’m wondering whether they would be freezable? If not, how long do you think they would last for please? Thank you.
Hi Christine. Thanks for getting in touch 🙂 Chuffed that you like the recipe 🙂 We haven’t tried freezing them so can’t say, but they will last for up to 5 days in an airtight box and kept in the fridge All the best, Roxy
HI, I would like to know how many grams makes a cup, please ? Thanks.
Hi Camille, depends on the ingredient. For instance 90g of oats is equivalent to around 1 cup. All the best, Roxy
