Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas mark 4 and grease and line a 25cm x 20cm tin. Melt the butter, sugar, syrup and orange zest in a large saucepan over a medium heat. The aim is to dissolve all the ingredients so that they are smooth, but to not lose any volume through boiling so be careful not to overheat.
- 2Add the oats and stir well until evenly coated. Stir through the leftover Christmas pudding and tip into the prepared tin. Use a spoon to flatten the top and bake for 40 minutes until the edges start to brown. Whilst still warm in the tin, score into 12 squares. Allow to cool completely before cutting along the scores.

Chef tips
To get the perfect texture, press the mixture firmly into the pan with the back of a spoon; this keeps the bars from crumbling after baking and ensures they stay moist and soft inside. For a vegan or dairy-free version, replace the butter with solid coconut oil. If your kids have a sweet tooth, stir in a handful of chocolate chips once the mix has cooled slightly so they don't melt.
