Your most favourite, no fail, oaty slice / flapjack recipe please :)

[kiwidreamer]

I promised DS we'd bake this afternoon but I dont have any eggs, from memory flapjack / oaty slices dont need egg - could you share your favourite recipes with me, I'd much rather 'tried and true' rather than take a punt on an internet recipe!

TIA

2oz brown sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
3 oz butter

Melt in microwave till boiling

Add 6oz oats ( not jumbo ones unless you are cooking in the oven)

Flatten into Pyrex dish, microwave for 2-3 minutes

Eat!

8oz oats
4oz light brown sugar
4oz marg or butter
3oz golden syrup

Line a tin with greaseproof paper, heat oven to 160 deg (gas 4?)

Melt sugar, marg/butter and syrup either in microwave or in pan over low heat til all sugar has dissolved. Stir in oats. Place in tray and press down gently. Bake in oven for 15-20 mins.

Allow to cool for 10 mins then slice into desired shape but keep in tray til cooled completely.
Yum!

SoupDragon has an awesome flapjack recipe. Everyone on MN was raving about it, so I adapted it tried it and it is great.

The trick is in the condensed milk.

This is my half-remembered version of it (works every time and makes loads):

1. Melt 250g butter in a pot.
2. Add 100g sugar and 4 tbsp honey (or golden syrup, depending on what's in your cupboard)
3. Add 1 tin condensed milk and let it come to the boil. It'll at least double in size.
4. Turn of the heat and stir in 500g oats.
5. Dollop into two tins (I use 25cm square silicon ones, but you can grease and line metal ones if that's what you have).
6. Bake at 160C for about 15 minutes.
7. Eat far too many.

I was just about to say SoupDragon's flapjack
you can search for them on here.

marking place cos my last and only attempt was a tray of tasty but crispy stuff!

Ah, that's because you didn't use condensed milk. Makes it lovely and soft every time.

Soupdragon's flapjack is divine, but she it single handedly made me gain TWO STONE after having DD2, as I would eat it during the night whilst bfing!

is it a really bad idea to consider making soupdragon's recipe while in possession of a hungry 7 week old DS2 then?

he's done such a good job of consuming calories so far, not sure if i want to counteract that with flapjack...
