Treacle oat bars are
traditionally called blackjacks, as they are made with black
treacle for extra iron, calcium, and B vitamins. The oats used
in this recipe are ordinary rolled oats, not the 'jumbo' type
from health food stores as they are too chewy for this recipe.

Set the oven to
350°F. Put the treacle, the sugar, and oil into a medium
saucepan and heat gently. When the sugar has dissolved, remove
from the heat and stir in the oats and sunflower seeds. Put
the mixture into a greased shallow cake pan, 7 x 11 inches,
press down, and bake towards the top of the oven for 20-25
minutes, or until set, crisp round the edges, and the visible
oats are golden brown. Cool slightly, then mark into sections
with a knife and leave in the cake pan to cool completely.
