A delicious sticky, soft & warming Yorkshire Parkin recipe, it should not be confused with Ginger bread, difference being it contains oats!

Equipment

  • 9 inch x 9 inch tin
  • Grease Proof Paper

Ingredients

  • 150 g Black Treacle
  • 150 g Golden Syrup
  • 150 g Butter Salted or unsalted
  • 100 g Soft Brown Sugar I used dark
  • 300 g Porridge Oats Blitzt in food processor
  • 150 g Self-Raising Flour

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 140C / (130C fan) / 275F / Gas 1
  • Pop your porridge oats into a food processor and pulse (not to a powder but as per picture in post). If you are using medium oatmeal there is no need to do this  
  • In a saucepan melt together your butter, black treacle, golden syrup and soft brown sugar. Do this slowly and gently - you are just looking to melt your butter not boil your mixture. Keep stirring  & remove from the heat 
  • Whilst your pan ingredients are cooling, In a large mixing bowl add your self-raising flour, porridge oats (pulsed) , Ground ginger and Mixed Spice - give it a stir with a spoon 
  • Add your melted treacle mix to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon
  • Add your 2 eggs and milk to the mix and beat until a smooth consistence is achieved 
  • Pour into your greased and lined tin and bake in the centre of the over for 60 minutes
  • Leave to cool in the tin, please try and leave it for 2-3 days in an airtight container to mature - then cut into 16 pieces and enjoy!
