Why did my flapjack go wrong?

[DullUserName]

My contribution to weekly office cakes was a disaster! I tried to vary a flapjack recipe on a friend's advice. Using muesli instead of just oats. Lots of fruit.
Soft, crumbly disaster. Tastes great but it's a pile of bits with a layer of butter at the bottom.
Any advice please? Thanks

You didn't use this recipe: www.waitrose.com/home/recipes/recipe_directory/m/miranda_gardiner_s_flapjack.html

There is no alternative.

Also, in your case not using oats. Museli won't bind in the same way.

Thanks :-D

Will try that one next time.

Hi,
It sounds like you were trying to take on board your friends advice in order to make a healthier flapjack
If that's the case, use Annabel Karmels recipe - she uses a lot of fruit and seeds, but it adheres and is v v tasty.
