4 Ingredient Chewy Chocolate Flapjacks
Flapjacks have to be the ultimate in simple yet satisfying treats. They are great for energy dips and go amazingly with a cuppa. My dad loves flapjacks too so making them always reminds me of him. This recipe is easily adapted too. See Variations below.
Chewy Chocolate Flapjacks
So some of my readers are based abroad and I only recently realised that flapjacks aren't around everywhere else.
These are basically a type of cereal/granola bar. They are chewy and sweet and are perfect for mid afternoon snacks or any time of the day really. They travel well too so are also great for walks and lunch boxes.
Variations
Feel free to add whatever ingredients you like. Such as:
Nuts and Seeds - Cashews, Desiccated Coconut, Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans, Macadamias, Pumpkin Seeds, Hemp Seeds, Sunflower Seeds
Dried fruits - Cherries, Raisins, Sultanas,
Chocolate Chips - Any colour you like
Spices - Ginger, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Crystallised or Stem Ginger - whatever you like
Fruits - Raspberries for well. I imagine that grated apples would work, although I think you would have to have a play around with ingredients. I wouldn't recommend sticking an orange in there. I mean you can give it a try. I have actually made these with orange juice before though so I know that works.
Honey - You can use Maple Syrup, Malt Extract or Agave Nectar instead.

Butter in Flapjacks
The butter in this recipe can cause the flapjacks to rise and then drop. So use a spatula to really press them as flat as possible once they come out of the oven.
