Ignoring the pat of butter and the large amount of sugar that goes into flapjack I was hoping that the oats and fruit, in this case cranberries, would be a healthy addition to this weeks diet.
Not happy with this recipe though (from November issue of Fresh). The result, although tasty, is far too crumbly. What I expect in decent flapjack is something crunchy on the outside but softer and chewy in the center. Any recommendations?
- 100g almonds
- 100g dried cranberries
- 225g porridge oats
- 200g cubed butter
- 200g light muscovado sugar

needs golden syrup!
I'd try 140 grams sugar and 60 grams golden syrup and press the mixture down well in the tin.

Thanks Bron, as soon as I can get some more cranberries I'll give your suggestion a try.

There's a flapjack recipe from Sue Lawrence's Book of Baking that I've been meaning to try. The recipe only has three ingredients ..
200g butter : 450g porridge oats : 6 Tablespoons Golden Syrup. There are also a couple of variations such as coconut flapjacks, apricot and honey, and banana flapjacks, which sound really yummy.
