Chocolate, Nut & Honey Flapjacks

Flapjacks, Speedy, Traybakes | 23rd August 2009 | By Choclette

Have made these flapjacks two days running now. Yesterday, some energy bars were needed to feed the workers and today we are off on a picnic – hummm – weather looking decidedly drizzly, so might end up as a picnic in the car! Plans set in motion now, so proceed we will, rain or no rain.

Melted 5oz unsalted butter with 2 tbsp runny honey in a large pan.
To this mixed in: 8oz rolled oats, pinch of salt, 2.5oz demerara sugar, 2oz mixed chopped nuts and 50g of dark chocolate cut into chunks.
Spread this into a buttered 8” by 10” baking tin and baked for 17 mins at 180°C (gas 4).
Left to go cold then cut into 12 squares.

Again I used my standard flapjack recipe from Gaia’s Kitchen and modified it, substituting honey for the syr

up and adding nuts and chocolate. The result was very satisfying – hence the making of a 2nd batch early this morning. Having little chunks of chocolate was a great addition and doing it this way didn’t overwhelm the taste of honey. With the 2nd batch I remembered to use my signature sesame seeds sprinkled over the top.

Another change I can make to my flapjack recipe. Honey and walnuts, two of my favourite ingredients.

Thought we’d cleared all the nettles last year, but I found a small patch lurking behind a bush this afternoon. Before pulling them up, I had to snip the tops off - of course. Will add them to the pasta water along with some broccoli a few minutes before it’s ready. Then all I need to do is stir in some wild garlic pesto. Can’t wait.

Been working on clearing ‘The Nook’ this weekend. Was completely hidden from us when we first moved in, but we soon uncovered it when we started hacking back the brambles, ivy and other growth. Finished the big clean with a pot of daffodils and moving in the bench we found rusting under a tree.

Any guesses as to whose eggs these might be? Enjoying the look of them nestling in my new favourite bowl from @rexlondonuk (formerly dotcomgiftshop). (Ad). �
