Pecan and Chocolate Oaties

A really quick and easy recipe. You can make double and freeze half to bake whenever you fancy it.

You will need

  • 175g plain flour
  • 85g porridge oats
  • 175g golden caster sugar
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1tsp ground cinnamon
  • 140g butter (diced)
  • 50g roughly chopped pecan nuts
  • 50g chocolate chips
  • 1 beaten egg

Preheat the oven to 180C. Mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and cinnamon together in a bowl and then add the butter. Rub the butter into the mixture until you don’t have any lumps of butter left. Now add the pecan nuts, chocolate chips and the egg and mix it all well until it all comes together into a ball. Now, lay out a sheet of cling film and place the dough in the middle. Roll it into a fat sausage and wrap in the cling film. Place in the fridge and chill until solid.

Now take the cling film off and thickly slice into discs arranging the dough onto your baking sheet. Bake for around 15minutes until golden. Leave them on the tray to harden, then place onto a wire rack to cool completely.
