Back to school time! Whether your little one is just starting, your older ones are starting a new year or you are back to work as a teacher/TA/parent who has had a lovely summer at home with the children, lunchboxes are back on the agenda! These flapjacks are quick and easy to make, easy to transport in lunchboxes and you can easily add 'extras' to suit your family's taste. Flapjacks are often toted as a 'health food', don't be fooled, most are made like these with butter and sugar/syrup but the oats will help keep little ones going and everything is good in moderation. This recipe is very quick to do and has enough stages for little helpers too as the pan doesn't get too hot!
Super Quick and Easy Flapjack
250g/10oz rolled oats,
125g/5oz Stork,
125g/5oz sugar,
2-3 tbsp of golden syrup/honey.
1. Preheat the oven to 180C.
2. Weigh out the Stork, sugar and golden syrup into a pan (my little man's favourite part is spooning out the butter!)
3. Melt on the stove over a low heat until the sugar and syrup has dissolved and the Stork has melted.
4. Set to one side. Weigh out the oats and add to the melted Stork/sugar mixture. You can also add some extra ingredients here if you want such as dried fruit, chocolate, nuts etc.
5. Line a small tin with foil (I found that a 'normal' brownie tin needed double this mixure to fill it fully as you don't want them too thin).
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes until lightly golden on top. If you bake them longer they will be crunchier so it depends how you like them! I like mine quite squidgy! Leave to cool in the tin before cutting and enjoying.
