Made these with Max this morning. Another super easy recipe, so he did a lot of the making. As far as I am concerned the perfect flapjack is chewy in the middle with a crunch on the outside,with a high fruit content. But whenever I make flapjack in the oven they never come out chewy enough. Admittedly with this microwave recipe you loose the crispy outer but I think the crunch is worth sacrificing for the chew, plus it is super fast for quick gratification!
- In a microwave safe container (I use a 1 litre square tuperware container) put 75g butter or spread, 5tbsp light brown sugar and 2 tbsp golden syrup and heat on high for 1-2 mins (until butter melts)
- Mix in 150g oats and however much fruit you like (I do 100g mixed raisins, sultana, apricots), squash down and microwave on high for 5 mins. (This may be different for a more up to date microwave- you need to be sure the middle is bubbling but that the outer edge doesn't go too far and get too hard) It will be soft when it comes out but put it in the fridge and the sugar and butter will turn to the chewy texture you are after. Turn out and cut into squares
- This time around I tweaked it with a layer of marzipan in the middle. I used about a third of a packet of shop bought marzipan. I squashed down half the oat mix then put the rolled out marzipan on top then covered with the rest of the oat mix before I cooked it. It is gorgeous, but then we all love marzipan so we would think so.
