No Bake Flapjack

[Chief Broom]

I dont buy many biscuits these days especially when something like chocolate digestives are £2.30 a packet flapjack is a far healthier, energy packed alternative and with an extra strong cup of coffee in the morning helps kick start my day. Ive been trying to perfect my recipe and at the moment its this- 5 mugs full of oats, one jar clear honey, mug n a half dried mixed fruit, 5 table spoons of peanut butter, tin of prunes drained,stoned.chopped, tablespoon of butter, 125g or so of flaked almonds. If i havent any prunes i add 2 mashed bananas. I just heat everything then add warm oats press it into a shallow tin and whap it in the fridge.

Youre welcome Cycleops i find it best to warm the oats in a dry deep frying pan before adding to the hot honey mix as this gives more time to blend the ingredients as everything is hot.

Presumably you could add cocoa powder to make a chocolate flavour? Might try that as Ghana is the home of Cocoa.

I never thought about chocolate flavoured flapjack- could certainly try it!

Yum. How well do they travel? Do they crumble if carried in a bike bag?

Should be fine as long as the honey to oats ratio is correct as the stickiness binds everything together, think i would wrap in silver foil.

Excellent, thank you

Anyone got an alternative for the peanut butter?
Its an aversion rather than an allergy. But it's results are noisy and unpleasant.
