Flapjacks

Thought I'd bump this up since I've been boosting my diet with flapjacks loaded with mixed nuts for the last few weeks

Although, I thought I'd mention I tried a different type of oats - Sainsburys TTD oats. Don't use them! Normal porridge oats are rolled and smashed up a bit which makes the porridge turn into, er, porridge. These ones are more whole and make a kind of swollen oats in milk soup that won't turn into porridge no matter how long you cook it for. Unfortunately it means flapjacks don't turn into flapjacks either. You end up with swollen oats in caramel soup and it just falls to bits. I managed to rescue some of it and cook it a bit longer so the caramel firmed up. What I've got is somewhere between a muesli bar and a liquid Mr Tom (seriously nuts) with oats.
