This is the recipe for my favourite snack. Flapjack, it's dead easy to make requires very little cleaning up and tastes awesome. Although this recipe does contain a a fair amount of sugar I recommend everybody tries it at least once.

Ingredients

150g Butter
150g Demerara Sugar
200g Oats
A pinch of salt.

First set your oven to gas mark 4 and grease an oven proof dish (I used a ceramic dish about 9 x 9 inches in size).

Then melt the butter in a pot over a low heat. Once the butter is melted chuck in the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Once mixed thoroughly turn out into the dish and spread out and pat down.

Put in the middle of the oven for 30-35 minutes. Once the time is up take it out of the oven and leave it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing up the flapjack. However don't remove the flapjack from the dish at this point or it will fall apart and you will just have to eat it all :D

Once cooled, eat. Simples.

Ok so the recipe isn't going to set the world on fire, but I personally find it very moreish and being so simple surely it's worth a try. Perfect for making with kids as there is very little mess to be made (the only reason the gf let me help) just make sure you get to lick the warm mixture from the pot and on the spoon :)

The recipe does allow for honey input but tbh I find them nice enough without. I'll try and put a picture up later if there is some left.

Perhaps if you are leaving to cool in the tin they are continuing to cook a little. Pull them out 5 mins early and get them onto a cooling rack.

Thought I'd give this a go today.
Didn't use that recipe but it's similar.
Added maple syrup but didn't look enough so added more than the recipe said.
Now it's really really sweet! Lol. Ah well.

i bake flapjack every week...... great with coffee (or tea)

use a slightly different wholefood recipe....

125g butter
120ml clear honey
75g soft dark brown sugar`
50G chopped walnuts (or a couple of chopped dry figs)
250g rolled oats

baking time at 180 =16mins

they can be quite crumbly but cutting them when warm and then covering the dish/ tray with cling film helps to retain moisture and makes them intact once cool.
