Nut And Raisin Flapjack Recipe

Flapjack Recipe

There are many variations of Flapjacks from the simple Flapjack recipe with just oats, butter,sugar and syrup to very fancy flapjacks with many dried fruit, seed and nut ingredients.

This Fruit and Nut Flapjack recipe is recommended from a reader and is based on a recipe from the Recipe book put together by the people of Brockweir Moravian Church – in the Forest of Dean

Flapjacks are so easy to make and can include nuts, seeds and dried fruit of your choice to make a delicious and nutritious snack

This recipe has flour as well as oats. Flour helps the ingredients to hold together better and makes a slightly smoother type flapjack. It is a good idea to use some flour when adding chunkier ingredients like chopped nuts.

Nuts And Dried Fruit

I used brazil nuts, almonds and walnuts in the recipe – all just roughly chopped so they were still quite chunky. If you buy mixed chopped nuts in a packet they are usually quite finely chopped but I am sure they would work well too. It just depends on how you like your flapjacks.

For the dried fruit I used raisins and cranberries. Again you can use whatever dried fruit you have – sultanas, dried apricots, dried blueberries etc. Just keep to the recommended quantities.
