Pumpkin Seed and Cherry Flapjacks

Flapjacks are a great and easy baking standby - they taste great and you can put anything in them you have in your store cupboard

These ones I put together to take on a family day out to a theme park and wanted something we can grab and eat on the go, will satisfy the sweet cravings of the younger members of the family while giving the older ones some energy to keep going and wont end up looking like a pile of crumbs after a day rattling around in the bottom of rucksack.

Ingredients
80g flora buttery (or similar)
80g brown sugar
60g golden syrup
130g rolled oats
25g pumpkin seeds
20g white chocolate chips
20g dark chocolate chips
100g Glace Cherries - cut into quarters








Put the flora, sugar and golden syrup into a pan and melt together over a low heat. Put the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Pour over the melted sugar mix and stir well to combine it all together.

Pour mix into a greased baking tray - I use a 20cm square one, and smooth it out with the back of a spoon until is evenly covering the bottom.

Place in a preheated oven 180 for 18 - 20 minutes.

Flapjacks need to stay in the tin for at least 10 minutes as it sets as it cools

Slice into even squares - should make 16 small square bars, and place on a cooling rack to fully cool - although a warm flapjack just out of the oven is one of lifes little luxurys! Keep in an airtight tin - or freeze (if they last that long)
