Flapjacks

It is starting to feel wintery on Melbourne so I felt in need of a bit of a sugar rush and something we could use for packed lunches.

Here is a really simple recipe for flapjacks... enjoy.

What you will need:

200g brown sugar
200g butter
200g golden syrup
400g of oats
zest of a lemon
handful of dried fruit - I used apricots and sultanas


Preheat the oven to 150 degrees and line a baking tray with baking parchment.Melt your butter and sugar together in a pan until all the sugar has dissolved. Then add in your golden syrup and leave on the heat until this combined with the sugar and butter.

Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the oats. Add the dried fruit and lemon zest and mix.

Spoon the mixture into your baking tray and press down firmly. Please in the oven for 40 minutes.

Once cooked leave to cool and then cut into squares - portion size depending entirely on how hungry you are.

I just enjoyed a slice with a cup of tea... Happy Sundays.
