Apricot and Coconut Flapjack

I totally forgot about this little beauty.


Flapjack is one of those snacks that we like to think of as healthy, just because its got oats in. In reality, that's not the case. But that doesn't stop me loving them! And this is not just any flapjack, oh no. This is a tastier, more exciting take on the traditional flapjack. And its got fruit in, so lets kid ourselves that it's a superfood. I love making this during revision time, as it's easy to whip up, makes a LOT to keep aside and is great for when you have the munchies and need something substantial and comforting. Here's how you make it...

Ingredients:

85g soft brown sugar
85g butter
170g oats
4 tbsp golden syrup
50g dessicated coconut
1 handful dried apricots

Melt your butter, sugar and golden syrup in a large saucepan


Take off the heat and stir in the oats


Add in your coconut and chopped apricots.


Spread the mixture into a greased baking tray and bake for 15-20 minutes at 170°C until golden brown


Once cooked, score out the squares whilst soft before they set. This makes it easier to separate when they harden, without making a big old mess.


And there you have it! One of the easiest snacks you can make, perfect for revision time. If you don't want to share them (why would you, they're friggin' amazing!) they will keep for a few days if stored in an airtight container.



Enjoy!
