Best simple recipes discovered on Mumsnet

Had a quick panic when I realised I’ve deleted a screenshot of a pizza dough recipe someone had shared ages ago that I always use. Managed to find it after scrolling through loads of pizza related threads.
I also regularly use SoupDragons flapjack recipe but I know I can re-find that through Google.
Just got me wondering if there are any other simple Mumsnet recipe discoveries people regularly use that I might be able to adopt.

Oatry tarts.

Shop bought puff pastry, rolled out.

Spread pesto over one side, chuck half cherry tomatoes, bits of cheese of choice... Bake, eat.

Spread pizza sauce/passata/puree over it, add cheese and veggies if choice... Bake, eat.

Spread Nutella/any sweet spread... Bake, add fresh fruit.... Eat

And the flapjack one please

250g porridge oats (the cheap type, not large ones),
150g Butter,
2 generous table spoons Golden Syrup
half a tin condensed milk,
100g demerera sugar
baking tin, no bigger than about 18cm x 28cm

Method: 1. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees c

  • Line the baking tin with baking parchment.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the sugar and syrup. Keep gently heating and stirring until all is melted and mixed. If it starts to boil take it off the heat!
  • Add the condensed milk and mix. Bring to the boil for about a minute.
  • Remove from the heat and gradually add the oats, folding them in. All the oats should be coated, and the mixture quite dense, but still sticky. Don't add so many oats that the mixture becomes dry.
  • Pour the mixture into the tins and spread about so that it lines the tin to a depth of 2-3cm. Don't squash the mixture in, just spread it evenly.
  • Bake in the oven for about 15mins. You should take them out when they just start to go brown round the edges, don't leave longer than this. If they're still squidgy in the middle that's fine, they set on cooking.

You can substitute honey for the syrup and change the amount of sugar - I use less as they can turn out very sweet. I've also substituted some of the oats for assorted seeds and they're fab covered with a layer of chocolate.

This is the pizza one I use. Very simple but it works well every time and everyone likes it.
