If you want a flapjack that is closer to store bought varieties, you may want to add some non-dairy spread / margarine and maple syrup to these too. However, I found them sweet enough and I love the straightforward ingredient list.
In unrelated news, daylight savings ended in the UK last night, which means it is lighter in the mornings (a welcome bonus given I start my days early) but darker in the evenings. It won't be long before we travel to and from work in darkness. Winter is coming!

These flapjacks look good. I am the same with dried mango, only ever really use it in flapjacks.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, your right we will soon be going to and fro work in the dark - winter is certainly coming. i have a day off work today, so am going to go through my wardrobes. Sunshine stuff in the back and winter stuff to the front.
That sounds like a great use of a day off. I hope you feel nicely organised now.
DeleteI much prefer fresh fruit to dried, but I'm with you all the way on the simple ingredients list. Anything that involves minimal effort for maximum lovely flapjacks is all good with me.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about fresh fruit - it can't be beaten really, but mango is one of those ones I struggle to get fresh on a regular basis!
DeleteThese look like a nice healthy snack - I haven't been buying much dried fruit lately and occasionally miss it when I want to make this sort of thing. And we are finally getting some light evenings which is really nice - at least when it rains on the way home I can see the rainbow afterwards :-)
ReplyDeleteIf that isn't an example of positive thinking, I don't know what is! I'm glad you're enjoying the light :-)
DeleteI still need to try these UK version of flapjacks. I keep picturing pancakes. :) These look so tasty!
ReplyDeleteWe have one more week of daylight savings. Things have gotten much cooler here this week - winter really is coming!
I need to try the US version :D
DeleteYummo - these sound delicious. I did hate the darkness in winter when I lived in the UK and the light well into the night in summer.
ReplyDeleteI will confess that the novelty of 'proper' winters has worn off a bit, but I do still appreciate the distinct seasons. I will be ready for spring when it comes though (and it's not even winter yet!).
DeleteWell these look delightful! YUMMERS! Hope you don't mind if I link you and visit often!
