This recipe is my version of the English flapjack. It is named for the exact reason you think it might be. It is my go-to after a heavy session of snooze button-pressing. I am also lucky the girls love it; in fact it is the current favourite. Win, win

What to do
-
-
Preheat oven to 180˚C
-
Get a square tin and line with baking paper. (The one I use is a 20cm one. But as long as it isn’t mega huge or super tiny I don’t think it is going to matter if it isn’t exactly the same size.)
-
Put the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup into a saucepan. Melt all of this deliciousness together.
-
Once everything has melted, pop in your oats. Stir together until all mixed up and the oats are coated with sugary and buttery goodness.
-
Pop this mix into the lined tin. Squash it down with your spoon (this stuff is hot) until it is nice and level and reaches the edges of your tin.
-
Sprinkle the seeds or whatever other yummy healthy things you have in the pantry on top (not too crazy, just a sprinkle). Put the tin with the mixture and sprinkles into the oven for 25 mins.
-
Once golden brown pull it out and let it cool totally before cutting it up into little bars of yumminess (you should get about 16).
