    I have some maple syrup to use up, has anyone tried them with that?

    By the way, I bought a 1kg bag of Scottish Porridge Oats last week and I am sure it was about 87p or something like that, can't find my receipt.
    Today the same bag at Tesco it is showing as £1.49!!!!! :eek:

    But...... the 500g bag is now 39p online!!!!!!

    Who the hell changes these prices.

    :rolleyes:

    By the way, does anyone know what the difference is between Porridge Oats and Scottish Porridge Oats besides the price?

    I have been buying the Scottish one recently as I assume it is a better quality.

    sb44 i think there are differences in the oats if you buy the ones in a box the flakes are a bit bigger but i find asdas sp ones ok for the hobnobs

    possibly a silly question, but how thick would they be before going in the oven?

    I was totally confused as tescos didnt have any value oats, so i had to buy cereal oats IYKWIM

    And is 8 oz one cup? Because i do have a cup! Woo hoo!

    These are the ones that I bought today, they are 39p for 500g, I don't think our Tesco sell the value ones anymore.

    It is one cup. Twink, those are amazing! I literally have to stop myself eating them! Good job , Mine ended up as a big slice so i must have made the circles too big, but now drizzled with melted chocolate and will slice into buns later. :j
