Caramel Oat Brittle
Ingredients
4 oz (100 g) certified gluten-free oats, quick or old-fashioned
1 ¼ cups (10 oz / 280 g) coconut sugar
¼ cup (3 oz) raw honey
1 oz (28 g) grass-fed ghee or butter
⅛ teaspoon baking soda
Directions
Place the coconut sugar, honey, and water in a pan over low heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
Add the ghee or butter and bring to a boil, but do not stir. Let it simmer gently until a little of the mixture dropped into cold water separates into threads of brittle. If you’re using a candy thermometer, which is helpful but not necessary, it should read 310˚ F (154˚ C).
Stir in the baking soda, then add the oats to stir quickly, and pour the mixture onto a buttered or or parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
Allow to cool completely then break into pieces as desired and store in an airtight container.
