Flapjack or similar recipe?I want to make a big batch of something which I can eat on my way home from work... something that will keep my hunger at bay but also not start my IBS off!! I was thinking something flapjack like, maybe not too nutty as sometimes I am sensitive to them... maybe something with chocolate?
Does anyone have a recipe they can post? |

Ingredients 75g of butter or margarine 50 - 75g light brown sugar 1 tablespoon of golden syrup 175g of porridge oats Baking Directions: 1. Put the butter or margarine, sugar and golden syrup into a saucepan and stir over a low heat until the fat and sugar have melted. 2. Add the porridge oats and blend thoroughly. 3. Press into a well greased 18cm square sandwich tin. 4. Bake in the centre of a moderate oven at 180c or 350f or gas mark 4 for 25 minutes or until evenly golden brown. 5.

Cool slightly then add 50g of chopped chocolate pieces before putting into the sandwich tin. stolen from Here |

This sounds good ladies. I have all those ingredients too - going to try this weekend! | ||

They turned out well, not sure they need 25 mins though so may reduce that next time. I tried them warm and they were all chewy which I love... The really test will be tomorrow on my way home from work! | ||

Well, they are in the oven. I used for the chocolate, broken up Divine dark chocolate Easter egg (I cant believe we still had one!) and used a mix of oats and oatmeal (as I have loads of it for some reason). I didn't have a square tin, so its in a round one. | ||

Hope they turn out well Laura

Hmmm, not what I expected at all. They are not chewy, but quite hard - solid and crunchy. Perhaps I put too much chocolate and also the oatmeal made a difference? They taste a bit burnt too, but I only put them in for 20 mins. |

I only cook mine for 12 mins-and the texture is great. Recipe from what I recall, is different, so will double check it. | ||

I gave it another try without the chocolate and oatmeal and made a bit more so it wasn't so thin, but still very hard! I cooked for 12 mins and it was still liquidy, so put it back for 5 mins! I don't know whats going wrong! | ||
