Flapjacks
Bought some porridge oats today and there was a recipe on the back for some flapjacks
Got all of the ingredients apart from some syrup so I swapped that for some honey instead. No idea if it will work out OK but it looks good cooked in the tray. Just waiting for it to cool now

Well, they taste alright
I think syrup would be better than the honey so I'll try that next time.

I would guess they'll be a bit crumbly with honey? Syrup also has a stronger taste. I bet they still taste nomalicious though.Crumble them into some ice cream and gobble.

I wouldn't say they were crumbly, but they lacked the taste to me. Like you say, if syrup has a stronger taste then they would have been much better....they just seemed a little bland. But still nice enough
I like the sound of crumbling some over ice cream. I think we might have some in the freezer so might give it a go

I make lots of flapjacks, but of course to make them well you need oodles of butter, brown sugar and syrup, however I replace the latter with honey as well. I also pour in quite a bit of whey protein to make 'em even better for me!
I love flapjacks muchly.

I remember making these loads when I was at school and they were always greatly received - can't for the life of me remember how I did them though :/

Off the top of my head...125g butter, 125g demerara sugar, 5 tbsp syrup, 225g oats, 1 tsp ground ginger.
Preheat ovet to 190C. Melt butter in pan and stir in sugar and syrup. Add the oats and ginger and stir in well. Grease a 20cm sandwich tin and press the mixture in firmly. Bake for 20 mins. Allow to cool for 15 mins in the tin and then score. Allow to cool completely and then turn it out and break in to wedges.

My mum has got a spare tin of syrup at home so I'm going to pick it up on my way through tonight
Also decided I'm going to melt some chocolate down and pour it over the top

I'm glad he's putting the chocolate on... it means I won't be tempted to eat them all
