can i just say that you dont need sugar and especially if you need to cut down on things, all you need is sunflower spread, honey, and oats, that's it! melt the spread and honey and add the oats and bake for 12-15 mins and take them out of the oven. dont cut them till they have set..0

Butter + sugar appeals to me more than using a spread.Happy chappy0

Out of curiousity, I mixed the cooked oats up with some more butter and then added 3/4 of a cup of Brown sugar. I then compacted it hard into a baking tray and gave it 15 minutes in the oven. I was quite excited to find that the flapjack mix had properly bonded. I cut out some bits after it had cooled. They tasted pretty good, but far too sweet for my tastes.
The next batch are going to work! Same mix, but with half the sugar.Happy chappy0 -
That would work because honey is mostly sugar.hostertlady wrote:can i just say that you dont need sugar and especially if you need to cut down on things, all you need is sunflower spread, honey, and oats, that's it! melt the spread and honey and add the oats and bake for 12-15 mins and take them out of the oven. dont cut them till they have set..0 -
This is a recipe of Mary Berry's, it uses part golden syrup and part sugar.
125g (4oz) butter, plus extra for greasing (I use marg most of the time)
90g (3oz) golden syrup
90g (3oz) light muscovado sugar (I have replaced this with dark brown sugar and granulated sugar in the past as I don't have that type of sugar in the house. Doesn't detract from the moorish taste)
250g oats
Roasting tin or shallow cake tin about 20 x 30 (8x12 inchs) I use a shallow 8inch cake tin
Lightly grease the cake tin.
Combine the butter, sugar, syrup and sugar in a suacepan and heat gently until the ingredients have melted and disolved. (I put a bowl with this stuff in the microwave for about a minute - less washing up) Stir in the oats and mix well. Spoon mixture into tin. Bake in preheated oven at gas mark 4 (180C) for about 30 minutes. Leave to cool for five mintues then mark the pieces. Leave to cool completely before removing from the tin.
Or if you are anything like me you can't help but try one piece after you've marked them, thereby burning some part of your anatomy in haste.0 -
My oven has broken and will need to be replaced, but next week will be the earliest I can sort it out, and the kids want me to make some kind of biscuits or cakes as a snack. I read on here a few weeks ago that someone made microwave flapjacks but can't find anything on a search. Can someone post the recipe or the link please?Jane

Flapjacks
Ingredients
Makes 12 pieces
100g (4oz) butter or marge (I use Flora).
50g (2oz) soft brown sugar – I use dark muscovada – gives great flavour
2 tablespoons golden syrup
150g (6oz) rolled oats
75g (3oz) mixed nuts (for best flavour, chop your own whole nuts rather than ready-chopped)
Method
Lightly grease a 23cm ( 9 inch) square shallow glass dish.
Place the butter and sugar in a bowl and heat in microwave until melted.
Stir the melted mixture until all one colour.
Mix in the golden syrup, chopped nuts and then rolled oats. Mix thoroughly.
Press the mixture into the glass dish and level the surface.
Cook on max power for 3mins 50 secs in a 850/900 watt microwave. Longer time in less powerful microwave.
Leave to cool. Cut into squares / rectangles when cool to serve when cold.
Delicious - but do use fresh ingredients not stuff that's been around for a zillion years!Where now?0
