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)

About Me
I love to cook - not in a fancy resturant style but in a home cooked feed the family kind of way.I have been cooking since I was a child and come from a long line of women who believed in sharing love by cooking good food - in fact it came as a shock to me to discover that you could BUY cakes!!!
When I got married I aquired not only 1 husband whose idea of a balanced meal was a big mac AND fries but a brother in law with Aspergers who was desperate to be independant and cook real food for himself and when I started trying to teach him it has made me take a long hard look at recipes, how they are written and what assumptions they make.
When I decided that I would like to write a blog I thought you should write them about something you love so I decided to write about food, share the recipes I grew up with, those favourites I have added to my battered old box of recipe cards as well as my experiences teaching K how to cook!
I hope you enjoy it
