Caramel Oat Slice
This slice has a crunchy oat base and top with a layer of buttery caramel sandwiched on top of another crunchy crumble!
Ingredients
- For the base:
- 65 grams (1/2 cup) icing sugar or powdered sugar
- 140 grams (1 cup) plain flour or all-purpose flour
- 75 grams (3/4 cup) oatmeal or porridge
- 125 grams (1/2 cup or 1 stick) butter, melted
- For the caramel:
- 240 ml (1 cup) sweetened condensed milk
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) butter
- For the topping:
- 30 grams (1/2 cup) icing sugar or powdered sugar, sifted
- 70 grams (1 cup) plain flour or all purpose flour
- 35 grams (3/4 cup) oatmeal or porridge
- 60 grams (1/4 cup) butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C on bake.
- In a large mixing bowl, add sugar, flour and oatmeal/porridge. Mix to combine. Add melted butter and stir until moist.
- Place mixture into baking pan and press down to form one even layer. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is slightly golden on the edges. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a saucepan, add sweetened condensed milk and butter. Place on a low heat and stir constantly until the caramel turns golden brown and thickens slightly. This takes at least 8-10 minutes.
- Once the caramel has thickened, remove from heat and pour over the crust. Then bake for another 12 minutes or until golden brown on the edges.
- Mix together the crumble by adding all the ingredients into a bowl and mix.
- Add crumble on top of cooked caramel and place back into the oven for an additional 10 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from the oven, and cool then cut into small squares.
