Fabulous Flapjacks

I always make four times the quantity I give below and it always goes. If the whole lot isn’t devoured immediately the flapjacks keep for a couple of weeks in an airtight container. They’re good if you are cooking for hoards, or for picnics.

Variations are:

  • to add chocolate chips
  • to cover with thin slices of apple and some raisins, and a glaze of golden and syrup and lemon juice
  • to add, as a schoolfriend of mine does, macadamia nuts
  • or get rid of left-over cereals by adding them (substitute for some of the rolled oats)
