Honey & Ginger Flapjacks

Descripton

A healthier version of the traditional flapjack

Serves

15 squares

Ingredients

200g unsalted butter
200g demerara sugar
200g honey
400g rolled oats (porridge oats)
50g glacé ginger, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (Gas Mark 4). Grease a 20 x 30 cm (8” x 12”) ovenproof dish.

Place the butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan and heat. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Take the pan off the heat and add the oats and glacé ginger and mix well.

Place the oat mixture in the ovenproof dish and spread the mixture evenly using the back of a spoon.

Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. The mixture should remain soft in the centre. Allow the flapjacks to cool and then cut into squares.

The flapjack squares will keep for a while if stored in an airtight container.
