To be annoyed with people thinking flapjack is healthy?

It's not btw. You might as well eat sugar straight out of the bowl.

Flapjack isn't a healthy snack. It's a very nice treat or pudding. Just because it has oats in doesn't magically take away the sugar and the golden syrup crap. Stop giving it to your dc thinking it's better then cake. It's not.

Most flapjack is made by melting a block of butter, mixing in sugar adding oats and then a ton of golden syrup. The oats do not make it healthy. Making it at home so you can call it homemade doesn't make it healthy.

I'm really surprised how many MNetters think it's a good healthy snack to give to their dc. Rant over.

A crisp salad. I like that Queen

sugar free flap jack?

porridge then

It all went to hell in a handcart when Annabel Whatsherface merrily told the middle classes with progeny that baby led weaning was the correct and proper way and chips were a good food for this.

aren't flapjacks a pancake? never used oats in mine or butter (although butter and syrup on top).

Well now I want flapjacks AND cake!!

Has anyone tried a deep fried flapjack? I've had a deep fried mars bar but hadn't considered flapjack as a viable alternative until now..... Now that I've been educated and know it's not a healthy snack I think it could work.

I love a good crisp salad

It was an invention of mine ooolook but I'm sure there's an official recipe somewhere. I was making chocolate chip flapjack and forgot to buy chocolate. I had a few mars bars in the cupboard so I used those instead. It really was good-especially warm.

No isn't it flapjack until you add condensed milk into the mix

Excellent, has this now turned into a thread to unspeakably fuck up flapjacks till they make your teeth weep?

OP get..a..grip, it's just a flaming flapjack.

Chip salads are lush!

Flapjack is tasty and filling but not healthy at all.

Mmmm flapjack

I am loling at crisp salad

How do you make a sugar free flapjack?

Downstairs Mnetters have excellent time management skills, we manage to post banal shite 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and still do enough gainful activity that the country hasn't ground to a halt.

Well except for this week, but that's not our fault, that's David Cameron's fault.

I like custard over the top of mine. Especially if there's chocolate drizzled on it.

You're still wrong for feeding it to your kids and calling it healthy (can't help myself here, at least call a treat a treat instead of kidding yourself)

Flaming flapjacks?

I'm assuming Sambuca is involved?

Mmmmm flapjacks.

I think in America flapjack = pancake thing. In Uk is oats mixed with sugar, butter and syrup (and possibly raisins/ condensed milk/ oranges/ nuts), then baked till firm and crumbly or chewy depending on recipe.

I'm incredibly upset but this thread.
Purple I NEED a recipe for the mars bar flapjack!

Is a sugar free flapjack one of those recipes that doesn't list sugar but does list maple syrup and honey and other packed-full-of-sugar substitutes? Because those recipes really get on my tits.

Mmmmmm

I want a flapjack! Or two. Cos they're healthy, right?

I expect it is hassled, more sugar in a sugar free recipe than if you just added a few spoonfuls.

mmmmm flapjack

I'm sure those Hemsley sisters could come up with a healthy alternative using biodynamic kale, coconut oil, chickpeas and raw cacao.
