OAT BARS WITH CHOCOLATE AND BLACK GARLIC GANACHE
Ingredients
- 250g oats
- 150g butter
- 75g light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup or honey
- 180g milk or dark chocolate, chopped
- 100ml heavy cream
- 20g black garlic cloves (or black garlic paste)
- 200g cashews, pecans or walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 180C (356F).
- In a saucepan, on a low heat, melt butter with sugar and honey.
- Now add the oats making sure they get all coated in the sweet sauce.
- Transfer your oat mixture into a nonstick baking tin (small round tin or a 20cm square is a perfect size) and bake for 25 – 30 min until golden brown.
- If you’re using a black garlic paste you can skip this step. Otherwise submerge the black garlic cloves in a little boiling water for 2 minutes, drain and push them through a very fine sieve as pictured in the post. Scrape the paste and place it in a small saucepan.
- Add cream to the saucepan with the black garlic paste and warm it gently on a slow heat. Using a hand whisk help the black garlic to dissolve into the cream (don’t worry if you still have small bits floating, they will not be detectable when the ganache is ready).
- Add chocolate to the cream and mixing gently help it dissolve slowly. When done, remove from the heat and reserve.
- Remove your flapjack from the oven and place the chopped nuts in the oven instead. Let them toast for 5 minutes.
- Pour the ganache over the flapjack, scatter the nuts and leave to cool and set. (You can place it the fridge for 30 minutes to speed things up.)
