I like to know what goes into the snacks I give my children, so wherever possible I make my own. These yummy flapjacks are always a hit and you can add pretty much whatever you like to them. A great after school snack!

Method

Prep: 10 min › Cook: 20 min › Ready in: 30 min

Heat oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Grease and line a baking tin. Melt the butter, sugar and honey in a large saucepan and remove from heat. Stir in the porridge oats and fruit if using. Pour the mixture into a lined tin and flatten to about 2cm thickness. Bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely in the tin, turn out and cut into squares.

Other ideas

Any dried fruit could be added, chocolate chips, chopped nuts. Whatever you choose or just leave them plain.

Substitution

Golden syrup could be used if you don't like the taste of honey.
