Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180°C fan/ gas 6. Line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and roast for 7-8 minutes until golden, set aside to cool, then roughly chop. Put the almonds in a bowl with the oats, oat flour, cranberries, coriander and salt. Turn down the oven to 160°C fan/gas 4.
  2. Pour the syrups into a deep pan (they’ll bubble up a lot) and simmer until the temperature reaches 122°C on a sugar thermometer (about 4 minutes once they’re simmering rapidly).
  3. Quickly pour the syrup over the oat mixture, then stir with a spatula until fully combined. Tip into the prepared tin, pressing down gently with damp hands to form an even layer.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden. Leave in the tin to cool, then cut into bars/triangles.
