Flapjacks

Flapjacks are good if you need a filling snack and the oats are very good for you but they have got a lot of sugar and fat in.








You will need

An 11 by 7 shallow tin

4 oz golden syrup
4 oz margerine
2 oz brown sugar
6 oz oats

Melt golden syrup, margerine and sugar in a pan over a low heat

When it has all melted together take off the heat and stir in the oats

Spread out in your tin, you can grease if it you want to although I never have with flapjacks

Cook in a preheated oven (180C / 350F/ Gas 4) for 25-30 minutes

When it is cooked leave for about 5 minutes and then cut it into peaces

If you like you can put some melted chocolate on top.

There are many variations to plain old flapjacks , you could try adding some chocolate chips to the mixture or / and some orange rind.

You could try lemon and honey, sesame seeds, nuts.

Try a few little experaments , see what you like!
