Healthy Flapjacks

I made healthy flapjacks today!

500g Porridge Oats (this bag is from Home Bargains 49p)

250g Butter (melted in a pan)

250g of mixed fruit & nuts (from Home Bargains £1.69)

170g/6oz of Sugar (preferably brown sugar)

2 Tablespoons of Golden Syrup (optional, put less sugar if you put syrup in, it'll make it sweeter & bind it all together more along with the butter)

Tablespoon of honey

Bake at 200°C for 30 minutes

Melt your butter in a pan then pour & mix it with your porridge oats making sure it all sticks together. Then add your golden syrup if you plan to add it this will help it to stick & your sugar.

Once it's all combined you can add you nuts dried fruit. I've been living off these bags of mixed fruit & nuts lately as it's such a good price for what you get which is actually not doing me any good even though it is healthy it's pretty excessive!

You get pecans, walnuts, almonds, cashews, Brazil nuts, sultanas, raisins & dried cranberries 250g bag for £1.69! Which is really good & you don't get peanuts in it! The nuts aren't salted either.

I also put peanuts & sesame seeds in it. I went a little crazy adding all sorts of stuff into it but you can put any dried fruit or nuts into it.
You can drizzle honey on the top before you put it in the oven

Mine actually didn't work that well as I had too much porridge oats compared to butter & syrup. I put 600g of porridge oats when I should've just used the 1 bag of 500g. It was really crumbly! Also sultanas & dried fruit aren't the best thing to use when baking especially when they're not covered as they do tend to burn! This isn't the best flapjacks I've made I have made better ones. The first time I made it is probably the best batch I've made so don't judge my baking skills on this batch..

This looks more like flapjacks see I can bake!

Flapjacks!

So the last time I baked was well over a month ago when I baked a birthday cake for my dad for when he came home from Spain. I was definitely having withdrawal symptoms from not baking for so long especially watching The Great British Bake Off which I'm absolutely loving!

I baked the biggest batch of Flapjacks yesterday however I think I over baked it & used a bit too much porridge oats as they didn't stick very well!

This was actually the nicer tray!

The burnt black things are the sultanas that got burnt!

500g Porridge Oats

250g Butter (A whole pack of butter soften at room temperature)

6oz Sugar

Mix all these together then add anything you want to it! This time I put

Tablespoon Honey

Tablespoon Peanut butter

Handful of Sultanas

Hanful of Walnuts

Handful of Peanuts

Handful of Sunflower Seeds

Handful of Black Sesame Seeds

Bake 200°C for 30mins or less once it goes a nice golden colour.

This batch below was from the first time which turned out really well but I though it was too buttery so I put more porridge oats but if you want it to be buttery then use 400g of porridge oats rather than 500g. (I actually used 600g which is too much!)
