Ingredients:
  • salted butter - 250g
  • dark soft brown sugar - 225g
  • golden syrup - 150g
  • orange - Zest of 1
  • rolled oats - 500g
  • Christmas pudding - 250g
Instructions

  • Melt the butter, sugar, syrup and orange zest in a large saucepan over a medium heat

  • Add the oats and stir well until evenly coated
  • Stir through the leftover Christmas pudding and tip into the prepared tin
  • Use a spoon to flatten the top and bake for 40 minutes until the edges start to brown
  • Whilst still warm in the tin, score into 12 squares
  • Allow to cool completely before cutting along the scores
  • Keeps for 5 days in an air tight tin or freeze for up to 1 month
