Flapjacks
The Mr had been wanting some for a while and rather than shop bought we decided to bake some ourselves while he was at work as a surprise. They are another simple recipe that is ideal for kids to do.
Ingredients
250g porridge oats
120g butter
120g brown sugar
3 large tablespoons of golden syrup
Chocolate for the topping (if you want)
- Grease and line a 9" by 12" tin/baking tray and preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
- In a pan melt the butter with the sugar and syrup on a low heat.
- Once dissolved add the oats and stir thoroughly.
- Pour the mixture into the lined tray and flatten it down.
- Cook in the oven for around 20 minutes until golden.
- Leave to cool.
- Remove the flapjacks from the tray and slice into 12 pieces.
- Scoff!
To make them more crunchy add a little less syrup...
Tip: Warm a knife under hot water before slicing the flapjacks to make it easier.
What messy fun have you enjoyed this past week with the kids?
