Anybody have any "squidgy" flapjack recipes?

[speccy1]

I love flapjacks, can`t get enough of them, but can`t make the bloody things to save my life. Every recipe I find and try always give me the same results......concrete

Anybody have any decent recipes to give a guaranteed soft and squidgy texture like the ones you buy in the shops?

I would love to make my own, and them be edible!

I use a recipe off the Costco Wonder Berries pack.
Oats, fruit, seeds (I add a few nuts), syrup and condensed milk

I like a crunchy flapjack. You should post your recipe!

I assume manually mixing is as good as a food processor?

Perhaps try adding a banana into the mix - I once made some from an online recipe and and they gave them a softer texture. I can't find that recipe but googling ''banana flapjack'' threw up a few recipes. This one was at the top of the list - http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/3028699/feelgood-flapjacks

I made flapjack for the first time ever this weekend and it was a raving success. My Mum's old recipe did me well and it is:

200g oats
100g 'flavourings' like dried fruit, seeds, choc chips etc. I used cranberries
and sesame seeds
50g plain flour
100g butter.
2 tbsp golden syrup
75g brown sugar (try 50g, mine was a bit too sugary)

1) Mix the oats, flour and flavouring stuff - ie dry ingredients
2) Melt butter, syrup, sugar in microwave
3) Stir into the oat mixture
4) Grease a baking tray
5) Wack it in and level. Press down firmly
6) 180 deg c for 20-25 mins. Check after 20 mins.
7) Take it out and leave it to stand until it cools!!
8) Cut into wedges whilst still ever so slightly warm

Devour standing up in the kitchen.

If you don't mind the workout.

Take one "concrete" flapjack.

Stuff it down the front of your bibshorts.

Bike ride.

"concrete" flapjack will now be squidgy, but I don't think you'd really want to eat it...

Place in plastic bag before stuffing in shorts!

Amazing...the simple addition of a plastic bag turns a biohazard into a delicious sustaining snack

No honey or syrup - can I use a few chunks of "white chocolate flavour cake covering" instead?
