Honey fruity nut flapjacks

This flapjack is the very thing to make if you want to make your own breakfast bars. You can paly tunes with the extra ingredients you put in it from dried apples, apricots hazelnuts. As long as you stick to the basic recipe then you should have a great chewy breakfast bar or some thing good for the kid’s lunch box. Now I have used unrefined sugar in this but you can use brown sugar if you wish.

You will need.
200g/7¼oz unsalted butter
200g/7¼oz unrefined sugar
200g/7¼oz honey
400g/14¼oz porridge oats
50g/1¾oz nuts, dried fruits and nuts or none at all if you do not want any fruits and nuts
1tsp of ground ginger

Get your pan, put it on the scale, and measure in to it the honey, butter and then the sugar. By measuring your honey straight in to the pan it saves you getting all sticky. Then heat the pan until every thing has melted, on a low heat.

Now get the oats and nuts, fruit, ginger, and nuts if using any, and mix well together so that the oats soak up all the liquids. Tip the mix out in to a lined cake tin. Spread it out to a 2cm or ¾in thickness across the tin. Then pat it all down with a back of a spoon so that it is all smooth.

Then get it all in to a preheated oven set at 180c/350f and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until lightly golden around the edges, but still slightly soft in the middle. Take it out and let it cool in the tin. Once it is fully cooled you can cut it into squares.

And there you have it a simple snack for the kids that you have made and you can make your own , at Christmas use cranberries, or even go off message un stick in some white chocolate chips as well.
