Fruity Flapjacks
Recipe by:
Olivia Burtenshaw
Deliciously sticky, yet eminently sensible, flapjacks are perfect snack food. They're portable, they keep well, and the oats are a good source of fibre, which slows the release of sugar into the body.

Ingredients
Serves: 6
- 150g (5 oz) butter
- 75g (3 oz) dark brown soft sugar
- 75g (3 oz) dried fruit of choice (see footnote)
- 75g (3 oz) golden syrup or black treacle
- 225g (8 oz) porridge oats
- pinch salt
Preparation method
Prep: 10 mins | Cook: 25 mins1.
Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas mark 5.

Melt the butter, sugar and syrup or treacle in a saucepan, but be careful not to let it boil. Stir in the porridge oats and the salt and mix thoroughly.
3.
Press the mixture into a 20cm (8 in) round baking tin and bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
4.
Remove from the oven and mark into slices. Lift from the tin and leave to cool before cutting. Store in an airtight container.

Great recipe, easy to follow. Tastes great. Made them to take on a weekend hiking trip. I adjusted the recipe a little to make huney and nut by substituting golden syrup for huney and fruit for nuts but also added a generous tsp of treakle.

I used fruity porridge to make my flapjacks. They tasted great but fell to pieces a bit too easily when I sliced them up.

I got some apricot flapjack from a company that sent it by post, it was lovely but expensive so I was looking for one I could make myself but was as good. This certainly hit the mark. I dip it in melted chocolate too for a treat.

Have to say thanks for this - I made them for a Cake Sale at work about a month ago and they were described by one client as the 'best flapjacks he has ever tasted.'
There's another bake sale on tomorrow and I've already received three emails asking if I'll be making any more ...

I used dried apricots and they were absolutely yummy.The only thing I would say is to let them cool in the tin before turning out and cutting, I turned mine out as stated in the recipe and I had a pile of bits....but that didn't stop us scoffing them down!

Great recipe, very easy to follow and not too many ingredients to buy! Made lovely buttery flapjacks. I put mine in the fridge overnight for extra chewy flapjacks. They were just the thing for my husband to grab as he raced out the door on the way to the train station this morning!

Very nice recipe, I had only 215g oats so topped up with pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds. Stuck with syrup. Husband said it was the best thing I ever made! As per previous reviewer, best cooled overnight in fridge.
