Wholesome flapjacks

Posted by Jordans Cereals 12 Sep 2008 2:49pm

Recipe makes about 12 flapjacks depending how big or little you want them to be.

Takes 20 minutes to make and 20-25 minutes to bake.

You can use any one of the Jordans muesli’s or porridge oats in this recipe depending on whether you want a nutty, tropical or more traditional flapjack. Here we used Jordans Tropical Muesli for a fruity flavour.

150g reduced fat margarine, eg Flora
150g ready to eat, stoned dates – presoaked for at ;east an hour in 3 tbsp apple juice, you can try prune juice for a different twist.
225g Jordans Tropical Muesli, or just porridge oats for a more traditional flapjack
1. Preheat the oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Grease and line a shallow 17.5cm tin with greaseproof paper, then grease again to prevent the flapjacks sticking.
2. Put the dates and juice in a food processor and blend until smooth, this will look very sticky but don't worry, the fruit will stick the flapjacks together. Melt the margarine in a pan over a low heat. Add the date puree and the muesli (or oats). Stir well, then press into the tin. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden.
3. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Cut into squares in the tin, allow to cool completely before turning out as these flapjacks can be quite hard to handle!

Being Canadian, with an American influence, Flapjacks are PANCAKES to us. That is why I added the meusli to a sourdough pancake recipe, and had a lovely crispy nutritious pancake to go in the morning, when little time is always the way!!!

I love flapjacks, although they are usually high in fat & sugar. This recipe uses dates instead & sounds very interesting, so I will make up a batch tomorrow. I'm sure I will like the end result. Love your website.
