Milk Chocolate, Honey & Apricot Flapjacks
There is something so comforting about a flapjack. This version, packed with seedy, nutty granola, speckled with apricots and topped with a scrumptious layer of milk chocolate, will get everyone chomping and chatting!
INGREDIENTS • 100g butter (or margarine) • 50g sugar (use brown or demerara if you have it) • 2 tbsp of honey (or golden/maple syrup) • 300g of Lizi’s Original Granola • Pinch of salt • 75g chopped apricots and 50g sultanas (optional), or add a grated apple • 150g milk chocolate chips or a roughly chopped chocolate bar
METHOD 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 2. Put the butter, sugar and honey into a saucepan and melt. 3. Put the granola, apricots and sultanas into a large bowl. 4. Pour the melted butter and sugar mixture onto the dry ingredients and stir well to combine. 5. Line a tin with non-stick baking paper. 6. Scrape the mixture into the tin and press down gently with the back of a spoon. 7. Put into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes. 8. Lift carefully out of the oven and leave to cool completely in the tin. 9. Melt the chocolate in short bursts in the microwave or a
heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Once the flapjack is completely cold, spread with the melted chocolate and pop in the fridge to set for about an hour before cutting into fingers. JULY 2020 OX MAGAZINE
