This week has been yet another bad food week. It all started out well, oats were had for breakfast, salads were eaten for lunch and then IT happened.......my friend Julie brought in her famous Apricot Oat Bars.  Now these lovely little bars are just too good for words.  I promised myself that i would only have one, but one turned into two and two turned into three. Three of these delicious Apricot Oat Bars. Oh my gosh....if you only try one new recipe this year - this is the one to try!

150g Jumbo Oats

125g Light Muscavado Sugar

2fl Oz Sunflower Oil

50g Chopped Dried Apricots

25g Sunflower Seeds

1 Egg - Beaten

Mix together the first three items and leave them to stand in a bowl for one hour.

After the one hour, mix the remaining ingredients together.

Place spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking tray and press down.

Bake at 180C for 12 - 15 minutes.

Thank you Julie - these are gorgeous and well worth a try.
