Flapjacks is something that my mum was always making for us when me and my sister were little. I think its because she thought that they were slightly healthier for us than chocolate and sweets!...she did have a bit of a point i guess!
anyways her point has kind of stuck and they are defiantly one of my favorite snacks..a lovely alternative to processed cereal bars!
So last weekend in Wales I thought it would be a nice idea to make some of them myself.
They weren't a complete success as I had forgotten some elements of the recipe and i had not internet access so I ended up making it up as i went along a little bit. They still tasted pretty yummy, even if I say so myself.
But I thought I'd share a couple of proper recipes on here instead.
Recipe 1: Mum's 'Healthy' flapjacks
Recipe 2: Even Healthier Flapjacks!
I found this recipe online a while ago for even more super healthy flapjacks which sounds great!
