Ingredients

• 120 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 75 grams Gluten-free rolled oats
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 90 grams Unsalted butter
• 395 grams Sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons Golden syrup
• 60 grams Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Sea salt
• 200 grams Dark chocolate (gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line an 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, gluten-free rolled oats, and brown sugar.

Step 3

Melt 90 grams of butter and add it to the flour mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly consistency.

Step 4

Press the mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan to form an even base.

Step 5

Bake the base for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.

Step 6

To make the caramel filling, combine sweetened condensed milk, golden syrup, and 60 grams of butter in a saucepan over low heat.

Step 7

Stir constantly for about 10-12 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and turns a light caramel color. Stir in the sea salt.

Step 8

Pour the caramel evenly over the cooled base. Use a spatula to spread it evenly. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Step 10

For the chocolate topping, melt the chopped dark chocolate and coconut oil together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth.

Step 11

Pour the melted chocolate over the set caramel layer. Spread evenly using a spatula.

Step 12

Refrigerate for another hour, or until the chocolate is firm.

Step 13

Once set, use a sharp knife to cut into 16 slices.

Step 14

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
