O.K i will be honest with this recipe! Well first of all these came out too buttery and oily and lots of butter was left on the serving plate, also there was so much sugar and i had to limit the golden syrup to 4 table-spoons as this is way too sweet also they were stuck to the baking dish and i had a struggle lifting them out the baking dish! And one more thing i had to heat them up again due to the fact that they had become hard. But overall i like them as they were chewy and moist but I would recommend limiting the quantity of butter and sugar also to lift them out straight away from the oven- this tends for them not to stick!

Turned out really well and were easy to make - I went for chewy and they came out just right with a bit of crunch on the edges. I doubled the recipe so I could give some to some friends too.

These have been on my list of things to try for a long time now. I made them yesterday. They were really yummy. Although I don't know what the difference is with the oats, but don't use the jumbo oats, use the smaller ones as it makes a much better texture. Thanks for posting. Miss Pixie x x x :)

Outstanding flavor and so easy to put together. I used golden syrup, light brown sugar and real butter because I had no margarine available. Mine were a little more crumbly than some I had in London; maybe it's because I used all rolled oats. It's hard not to eat half the recipe at once!
