WW2 recipes

I've found lots of fabulous WW2 recipes for my dd1's school project, but she wanted to make a sweet dish to share at school.
On that note we have found that oats were not rationed and thought about flapjacks. But I have not been able to find a recipe for them from that era. Does anyone know if they were something that would have been made then or even better if you have an original recipe?
TIA x.

What point in time are you doing? Problem is the rationing of Fat and Sugar. Sugar came off ration in September 1953, Fat came off ration in May 1954.

Ration example (per adult, per week)
Butter 2oz (50g)
Margarine 4oz (100g)
Cooking Fat 4oz (100g) but often dropped to 2oz (50g)
Sugar 8oz (225g)

I'm assuming it would be during rationing - not actually placing a date to it.
That was why I questionned as to whether they would have bothered making them, due to the high content of rationed supplies.

How about this? No eggs as eggs were very hard to get your hands on, and some sugar replaced by golden syrup.

That looks good thank you.

I was going to come on and suggest Woolton Pie, but root veg pie with potato pastry crust might not be a good sweet-to-share-at-school recipe! Grin

Thank you. Lol.
We made honey cakes - very good and easy to make.
