Oat Milk Bar

Oat Milk Bar Recipe

Name: Oat Milk Bar

Origin: Nigeria

Ingredients:

• Rolled oats (2 cups)
• powdered milk (half cup)
• honey (one third cup)
• butter (4 tablespoons)
• vanilla extract (half teaspoon)
• a pinch of salt

Steps:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, powdered milk, and a pinch of salt and stir together until evenly mixed
2. In a pan over low heat, melt the butter and honey together, stirring gently for about two minutes until fully combined into a warm, smooth, golden mixture, then remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract while the mixture is still hot
3. Pour the warm butter, honey, and vanilla mixture into the bowl of oats and powdered milk and mix everything together thoroughly until all the oats are evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed between your fingers
4. Line a pan with parchment paper and transfer the oat mixture into it, pressing it down firmly and evenly into a thick, compact slab, making sure the surface is as flat and uniform as possible so the bars bake and cut evenly
5. Allow the mixture to firm up in the pan for a few minutes, then cut into long bars first and then into smaller individual pieces
6. Place the cut bars into a preheated oven at 170 degrees Celsius and bake for approximately five minutes until the bars are just set and very lightly golden on the surface
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan before handling, as the bars firm up further as they cool
