I have a very dull flapjack recipe that is basically just oats and golden syrup. I've eaten loads of gorgeous flapjacks over the years containing all manner of scrummy ingredients. So what can I add to my recipe to make it more exciting? What secret ingredients do you put in your flapjacks to make them taste amazing?
Pretty much as above and we collect those last bits of cereals that go a bit powdry and add those in too - the Lidls Flakes with Strawberry bits are very yum in the flapjacks.
The BEST additions are pine nuts and lumps of stem ginger (the sort in jars with syrup). IMO. Actually, just add stem ginger cubes and dark choc bits and you'll find flapjack nirvana.
The River Cottage Family Cookbook has a fab citrussy flapjack recipe, though when I make them, I do find that they fall apart. More butter needed??
I make granola bar type flapjacks, with oats, crisped rice, butter, honey/golden syrup, and some or all of these depending on what I have: goji berries, chopped dried apricot and mango, grated apple, dried cranberries, chopped hazelnuts, flaked almonds, peanut butter, sesame and pumpkin and sunflower seeds, plain or white choc chips. Super-healthy snacking!
I used some of your suggestions - basically anything vaguely flapjacky that I had in the house, so....
oats soft brown sugar butter golden syrup honey pumpkin seeds apple (tried to grate it and it disappeared, so chopped it instead) orange zest vanilla essence Christmas Spice (best before end 2004!) choc chips dried apricots chopped brazil nuts
Was delicious, even if it did weld itself to the baking tray and crumble into muesli when you pick it up!!!
Might have another piece now...
