Flapjacks<br />
These flapjacks are a healthier option for anyone<br />
involved in sports and fitness. The seeds add a<br />
little extra crunch as well as goodness. Enjoy<br />
and let us know what you think.<br />
Ingredients<br />
250g rolled oats<br />
125g butter<br />
75g mixed seeds<br />
90g golden syrup<br />
90g soft light brown sugar<br />
¼ tsp of ground ginger<br />
250g rolled oats<br />
Consider adding 50g of raisins and chopped<br />
apricots to make the flapjacks even tastier<br />
Method<br />
• Gently heat the butter, syrup and sugar in a saucepan until the<br />
ingredients have melted and dissolved.<br />
• Combine the oats, seeds, ginger and fruit (if being used) in a<br />
large mixing bowl.<br />
• Pour the heated mixture onto the oats and mix well.<br />
• Spoon the mixture into a greased tin measuring 20cm by<br />
30cm and smooth the surface with a palette knife.<br />
• Bake in a preheated oven at 180C (160C fan, Gas 4) for about<br />
30 minutes.<br />
• Leave to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.<br />
• Once cooled, carefully remove from tin and place on a flat<br />
surface to cut into squares.<br />
