    Im going to make these today - snow day - and luckily I have all the ingredients in the house. Never made flapjacks before and I don't have a tin. Could I use a square silicone type thing or a lasange dish?

    Thanks

    Can't see why not. Probably best to use the lasagne dish though as it'd be rigid.

    Turned out great!!! Lasange dish was too big, so used individual silicone bun cases and topped with white choc.

    Very moist and super yummy. Will pick up some dried fruit next time I'm in shops to try some variations.

    Thanks a mill

    :)

    I've had them with my morning tea for the last couple of mornings. Think I might make a batch on Sunday with chopped nuts in them to make them that bit more healthier and then have them for the rest of the week. :pac::pac::pac:

    Throw in some of the oat bran too. No harm. It'll slow down digestion of them.

    I had been experimenting with whey before to add some protein to them. Might give that a lash again (if anyone else is trying this, be warned that whey + fat do not mix well).

    Here's a question, I've just been making brown bread, with the oven at 220c, I also have some flapjack mixture waiting to go in.

    The bread is done, and the oven is off now, how long should I leave it before putting in the flapjacks, so the oven is cool enough? I don't want another batch of burnt flapjacks. (The birds loved the burnt ones btw :D)

    Just open the door for a bit to let out most of the heat and then close it and leave it for 5 or 10 mins. If your oven has an indicator light to show when the oven is up to temperature it will make it easier.

    do you have a light which goes out when ovens hot enough?it depends on oven and how quickly it cools down.itl cool quick enough from 200 to 180 when you take bread out.if your flapjacks are burning turn the temp of oven down by 10 degrees than what recipe says,sometimes with fan oven you may need to turn it slightly lower again.also put them on middle shelf as top shelf will be hotter

    There's no light, and to further complicate things, the oven operates at ~50c higher than the knob says.

    then leave it for few minutes and put it to temp u want and hope for the best,flapjacks are something that if you open to check them after few mins theyl be alright.its not like a sponge thatl sink or anything so just keep an eye on them and hope they come out ok for you

    Then why don't you set it at ~50c lower than the knob says? ;)

    Had most of the Ingredients at home so i made some earlier.


    Pretty nice with a coffee, stuck some random peel in it aswell. Might have made them a bit too sweet doh for me.

    Nice choice for a first week.

    ***SIGH***

    Yes here is, you know the orange dot? thats the temperature light

    and the 50c is hardly a massive deal

    I added some butter into the choc to fudge it up a little bit.

    Cheers Khannie, great week 1 choice.

    Think I'll give these a shot. Might try melting a Mars or Snickers bar in a pot and using that to top the them once they're cooked

    Haha I think she means its not a big deal that you just have to remove 50c from the temp displayed on the knob. If you want it at 180 just set it at 130 :D

    They look yummy. I was wondering how to stiffen the choc up a bit - I'll try add some butter next time. Sometimes melted choc can be very runny.

    I might try a little less sucra next time as I find them a bit sweet for me. I threw in some pumpkin seeds too for added chew factor. nom nom nom nom...

    thank you khannie! Delicious flapjacks and I made use of left over flaked almonds, dried mango, glace cherries, raisins and delicious chocolate :pac:

    I only had use of a round baking sheet that's why they're sliced like pizza!

    This is a fantastic idea! I'll make these tomorrow as my end of the week treat for eating carrots all week (oh I pretend it's a load of trouble to eat carrots, really carrots are their own reward)

    Would milled flaxseed be a good thing to add to flapjacks, as in would it mix well?

    Khannie, your flapjacks with Cadbury's dairy milk chocolate on top = one big win. :)
