Mine's a variation of Montys
Ask the Mrs 'can you put some flapjacks on the shopping'
Mrs puts flapjacks in online shopping basket
Man delivers shopping
Locate flapjacks in shopping bag
Put in cupboard until needed

 

[Cuchilo]

Swap the syrup for honey

 

[Steady]

Mine is very basic, I intentionally don't use the sugar, personally I don't miss it, but this is the only recipe I've ever used, and the last time I had any other flap jack was years ago so can't miss what you don't know!

• 6 tbsp Golden Syrup
• 200g unsalted butter
• 330g porridge oats

Melt Butter, Syrup
Mix in oats
Gas 4, 25 minutes.

 

[winjim]

150g sugar
250g butter (1 pack)
350g oats
Dollop of golden syrup
Plus whatever's lying around in the form of nuts, seeds, dried fruit etc.
Melt together then 150deg for 30-40 mins. You want it crisp enough that it's not all fally aparty, but soft enough to chew.

Runners world has a recipe this month, but they call it "DIY energy bars". Bunch of ponces

The above two recipes look very tasty, but surely those quantities are seriously low!

Right, mine is very different. Instead of golden syrup and sugar, the sweetness mainly comes from dates, and this makes it chewy and less likely to be either rock hard, or turn into a pile of crumbs when you hit the first bad bit of tarmac.

9 oz dates, stoned & chopped
3.5 oz porridge oats
2 oz self raising flour
3 oz brown sugar
2 oz sultanas
loads of cinnaman, to taste
a sprinkle of salt, to taste
4 oz chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, pistachios)
4 tablespoons of olive oil
2 eggs, beaten

Pre-warm the oven to 180C whilst you weigh that lot out, then mix the above and spoon into a greased shallow tin about 8" square, and flatten the top with the back of a spoon. Cook for 30 mins @ 180.

NEW FAVOURITE THREAD.

These can be a little bit crumbly but they're pretty good

Rolled oats 8 oz
Brown sugar 2 oz
Butter 4 oz
Golden syrup 2 tablespoonfuls (I don’t use measuring spoons here. 2 ordinary tablespoonfuls with as much as sticks to them!)

Mix the oats and sugar together. Melt the butter and syrup together. Add to the oats and sugar and mix well.
Line a tin (approx. 10 inches by 7 inches) with baking parchment. Spread the mixture in the tin, pressing it down evenly.
Bake for about 25 minutes on 180/Gas 4
Cool in the tray but remember to cut it into pieces while still warm.

Variations...
Use half black treacle and half golden syrup. Add 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
Add dried fruit and seeds, about 4 oz in total. Reduce oats to 7 oz.
A few oz of dessicated coconut is a good addition as well

Normalised to one pack of butter. Saves on mess and waste. Can always be scaled

 

[Archeress]

Okay.... I have a couple...

I use a standard flapjack mix, but into the butter and syrup mix melting in the pan I put the zest of 1 or 2 oranges, using a zester, not a grater. Then depending on the topping I either bake as is, or sprinkle some sunflower seeds on top. Once baked and cooled I would top the plain one with melted chocolate orange (you can add some plain or milk chocolate to reduce the sickliness). For the one baked with sunflower seeds, I would make a glaze with 3tbs fine cut marmalade and 1tbs water and brush over the top of a cooled flapjack.

Second recipe is made with standard flapjack mix but adding cinnamon to the melted butter and syrup, and then some dried fruit with the oats. My preference is dried apple or pear, but if you cant get those then raisins or sultanas.

I like the sound of MikeG's date flapjacks. There's a chap at work has a recipe with bananas in that sounds good. I'll try to find out...

I find commercial flapjacks too sweet, and also my sweet tooth disappears on a ride.
