Chewy Fruit Flapjacks
Flapjacks and granola bars are the easiest and tastiest treats to take to work for some snacking at your desk. These easy fruit flapjack bars are chewy, sticky and you can use any nuts, seeds and dried fruit that you have in your cupboards!
Equipment
- 24cm x 24cm baking tin
Ingredients
- 100 g butter unsalted
- 60 g dark brown sugar
- 100 g golden syrup
- 200 g porridge oats
- 100 g sultanas, dried apricots, crystallised ginger, desiccated coconut or a mixture plus add any seeds and nuts too
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C Fan. Line a 24x24cm baking tray with baking parchment.
- Place the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup in a pan and heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and sugar has dissolved. Add the oats and dried fruit (and nuts/seeds if using). Mix well.
- Transfer the oat mixture to the tray and spread to even thickness. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or a spatula. Bake in the oven for 15-16 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges, but still soft in the middle.
- Leave to cool completely in the tin, then turn out and cut into bars.
Notes
If you're only using very sweet dried fruit, like dates (and no nuts, seeds), you may choose to reduce the amount of sugar in this recipe, as the fruit will provide lots of sweetness.
