Introduction
I used to make these every week for my children after swimming. They are packed with fruit and have no added sugar – they get all their sweetness from the honey and fruit, so it’s actually a pretty healthy snack. They are much more light and cakey than an ordinary flapjack.
Ingredients
| 100g | butter, plus extra for greasing |
| 4 tbsp | honey |
| 1 tsp | ground cinnamon |
| 200g | porridge oats |
| 100g | self-raising flour |
| 150g | dried fruit (I use a combination of raisins and chopped prunes) |
| 3 | apples, grated |
Essential kit
You will need a 30x20cm tin
Method
Heat the oven to 200c/400f/Gas mark 6. Grease a 30x20cm tin with butter.
Put the butter and honey into a saucepan and melt on a low heat. Put all of the remaining ingredients into a mixing bowl and pour the melted butter and honey over the top. Mix thoroughly.
Pour the mixture into the baking tin, pressing it down gently. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until it is starting to turn golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin.
Once cool, cut into slices or squares and serve.
