Method
- Heat the oven to 180ºC regular bake and line a 20-22cm square tin with baking paper.
- Over a medium heat, melt the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup. Remove from the heat and add the vanilla bean paste, coconut, oats, flour and baking powder and stir to combine.
- Press ⅔’s of the mixture into the base of the tin. Add most of the chopped chocolate and apricots, reserve a small amount of each for on top.
- Top with remaining oat mixture, apricots and chocolate and bake for 18-22 minutes or until golden. If the apricots start to look a little toasted, cover the tin loosely with a sheet of tin foil while it bakes.
- Cool on a wire rack then use a sharp knife to cut it into 16 or 25 pieces.
