Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4 and line a 20cm-square tin with baking paper. Put 50g of the porridge oats in a food processor with the cocoa powder and 100g whole hazelnuts. Whiz to a fine flour consistency then tip into a bowl with the remaining 100g porridge oats, 75g of the chopped nuts, the whole rolled oats, raisins, cinnamon and sugar. Mix together well.
Gently melt the coconut oil and chocolate spread together in the microwave or a pan, then whisk in the oil and honey. Mix with the dry ingredients until every oat looks sticky.
Tip the mixture into your tin and press down firmly until flat (cover the surface with some clingfilm first if it’s too sticky to press down easily). Scatter the last 25g chopped nuts over the top, press in gently then bake for 20-25 minutes until a little crispy. Leave to cool before tipping out and cutting into bars.
