Hello everyone,

I have recently started to get cravings for flapjacks, and have been buying the fruit flapjacks from lidl. I decided that as I had golden syrup, raisins, porridge oats etc at home, that it would be more OS to bake my own. However, they have turned out quite chewy and hard - not at all like the ones in the shops. Does anyone have a recipe for soft flapjacks?
I even cooked mine for 15 minutes instead of the recommended 20.

There's a microwave flapjack recipe on here which turns out lovely and only takes a few mins (plus lots of time to cool or they crumble up).

Will see if I can find it....

I press chocolate chips onto the top when it comes out and then leave it to cool. Enjoy!

If you use the recipe on here (Thriftlady's I think) and substitute the butter for soft marg they will come out soft rather than chewy.

I used to make flapjacks a few years ago and have to agree with above poster, use butter it makes a huge difference.

I used to add sesame seeds to mine, it made the flavour out of this world!

I HAVE to recommend the recipe off the back of Sainsburys Taste the Difference Porridge Oats-
124g butter
75g golden syrup
150g bar chocolate(I used Tesco Value Plain Chocolate Bar)
175g rolled oats (again I used value oats for mine)
50g desiccated coconut
50g glace cherries

Melt butter, syrup and chocolate together until melted. Remove from heat, stir in oats, coconut, cherries, mix well and turn into a 18cm square dish or tin. Smooth surface and chill until firm.

This requires no cooking and I also added some chopped apricots and raisins to mine and to say they didn't hang about would be an understatement. They are definately on my regular list!
