Flapjacks

[Laststop]

Please help I need a idiots guide to flapjack as i offered to make some for work I don't know why as I am terrible at baking

You want soupdragon's recipe on this thread. Lovely and soft.

I put in honey rather than syrup, because I never have syrup in the cupboard. Apparently you can leave the sugar out entirely too, or half the quantities. The secret is the condensed milk.

Soon gonna try these.

If I'm going to be just a bit neurotic (name gives away profession), every flapjack recipe I have ever come across is loaded with butter, sugar/syrup/honey.
If you're after a healthier version, I developed my own using ripe bananas, oats, milk, pumpkin & sunflower seeds, frozen berries with a bit of honey if extra sweetness is needed.
I know they may not be as gooey and sweet and lovely as traditional flapjack recipes, but my lot (7, 4 and 2) seem to get on quite well with them if they're hungry enough. My 2 year old is going through a 'tricky' feeding stage, so he has some dunked in to milk in the morning.
'Ere y'ar.......Seriously Healthy Flapjacks

sarah do they taste anything remotely banana like? I have a son who eats all manner of fruit but doesn't like bananas but I would love a healthier flapjack recipe.

I currently use Annabel Karmel and substitute blueberries instead of apple, and they contain cranberries, apricots, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds etc but it still has a hell of a lot of sugar, butter and golden syrup.

But I will definitely be making Soupdragon's flapjacks. I am all about stuff in moderation.
