Blueberry and White Chocolate Flapjacks
A simple traybake. Blueberry and white chocolate flapjacks are quick to make and utterly delicious. These fruity oat slices last a few days and are perfect for lunch boxes and picnics.
Having set blueberries as the ingredient for this month’s We Should Cocoa, I’ve not managed to get my act together to bake what I had planned and I don’t think I’m going to before the deadline. As it happens, however, a couple of years ago, I made these rather scrumptious blueberry and white chocolate flapjacks with some local blueberries. But for some reason I never got around to posting about them. Here goes.
Harvesting Homegrown Blueberries
Following a tip I’d heard, my mother covered her blueberry bushes with an old net curtain that year, thus stopping the birds from stripping the crop as they had done in previous years. The result? A bumper crop and we got some of the spoils.
Blueberry and White Chocolate Flapjacks
I’d never made blueberry flapjacks before and this had been a flapjack free household for far too long. The results were excellent and I used this recipe as the base for my popular raspberry and white chocolate flapjacks that I made earlier this year. Sadly the only photography I seem to have, does not do them justice.
This is a simple traybake and these fruity oat slices are quick to make and utterly delicious. They last a few days and are perfect for lunch boxes and picnics. I used condensed milk rather than sugar and golden syrup which gave them quite a different consistency to the usual ones I bake. Rather than crunchy, they were a bit softer and chewier and made a very pleasant change. Surprisingly, they were also less sweet.
Linkies
You still have until midnight on the 25th to get your chocolate and blueberry creations in. These blueberry and white chocolate flapjacks are my entry to this month’s We Should Cocoa using homegrown blueberries, though admittedly not my own.
Summertime Special is the theme for this month’s Treat Petite, hosted by CakeyBoi and The Baking Explorer alternately. These flapjacks, which use summer berries and are perfect fare for summertime picnics, fit right in.
As I used up half a tin of condensed milk that was lurking in the fridge and might otherwise have gone to waste, means I am sending this off to the No Waste Food Challenge hosted over at Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary.

Made these yesterday with my son using homegrown blueberries. I was going to use dark chocolate as I ddin’t have any white but my son wanted white chocolate so he popped out to the shop to get some. I liked the texture the condensed milk gave them.
Might try with dark choc some time.
The reason I like to use white chocolate with fruit like blueberries is that they don’t have a very strong flavour. Dark chocolate may very well overwhelm them. Having said that, I’d love to hear how they work out for you.
Winter, I fear, has set in here and I could seriously go a tray of these right now! Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing with the No Waste Food Challenge 🙂
Oh it’s really not on is it Elizabeth. Even here in mild Cornwall it’s been raining solid for three days now with storms predicted for the weekend – oh joy!
I adore fresh fruit flapjacks and a chocolate addition is definitely the way to go. Yum! I am loving the sesame seeds sprinkled over the top. Fab idea!!
I didn’t get round to entering any challenges this month. Sorry!….. Where did July go?????
July has been crazy busy. We were meant to be going away today as it’s CTs birthday tomorrow, but we’ve both got too much going on, so will make do with a day trip somewhere tomorrow instead. I always sprinkle sesame seeds over my flapjacks – it’s become my “signature” thing!
Choclette, these sound fantastic! I love the sesame seeds on top!
Thanks Kecia, flapjacks seem to be unique to the UK. Sprinkling sesame seeds on top is my particular signature – except when I forget!
These look and sound utterly delectable and would make a great addition to the summer picnic basket too! Karen
Thanks Karen. These are most definitely a summer picnic item – just roll on the summer picnic weather!
Mr Glam would love these, a smidgin’ of white chocolate and he’s won over. They look delicious and very straightforward to make. GG
It seems as though Mr GG might have got lucky yesterday 😉
Great ingredients for these flapjacks, love them all
Thanks Heidi. Do you grow blueberries on your allotment?
These look lovely. Great alternative to a chocolate bar! Haha x
Nice to hear from you Brogan. I’m not sure I’d go quite that far though 😉
These sound interesting! I’ve got the blueberries, and bought some chocolate especially for WSC this month, but I fear I’m running out of time, especially as my husband wants a gooseberry crumble this weekend. I’m not sure we can cope with dessert and cake! I’ll do my best!
Do hope you can manage it Suelle. I’m really busy at the moment and not likely to write up for a while, so a late entry is fine.
Love the colour of the blueberries coming though there, just gorgeous. 🙂 I’ve never made flapjacks without golden syrup, but I like the idea that condemned milk makes them softer and chewier. Yum. 🙂
Thanks Sarah. The CM does give a different texture, not better, but it makes a nice change.
Wow these look amazing Choclette and I’ve never had flapjacks with condensed milk but I bet it makes them even more lush!
It does Camilla – gives them a slightly fudgy consistency.
What a lovely cake. I have not baked with blueberries yet. Your are the best when it comes to bake with chocolate! Loving this!
Thanks Alida 🙂 I’m guessing you don’t get blueberries in Italy.
I love the use of fresh fruits in bars. These flapjacks look very inviting, Choclette.
Thanks Angie. Summer bakes just aren’t the same without fruit 🙂
I love the idea of using condensed milk in a flapjack recipe. I will have to give these ago
It gives a softer fudgier texture Jo, which makes a nice change.
That is funny because when I was looking for ideas for WSC I got very interested in these flapjacks and planned to make a blueberry and chocolate version but then I got distracted
Ah but you got distracted with something that sounds rather delicious Johanna, although these flapjacks are definitely worth making.
i love white chocolate in dessert but never thought to go with something other that the classic raspberry or strawberry with them, thanks for the inspiration!
White chocolate goes well with most fruits I’ve found Roz and work especially well when you want to keep the colour.
Net curtain??? Genius!! I’ve always just lost all of my blueberries. This flapjack recipe is lovely!
Oh no Kate, too late for net curtains this year, but maybe next.
C these look so good. I’ve just handed my blueberry brownies out at the office and they went down a storm… I adore blueberries and chocolate, they are such a good combo. A great challenge this month! x
I bet they went down a storm Dom. What an excellent way to bribe everyone in the office 😉
Wow these look delish! You know I don’t think I’ve ever had blueberries with chocolate before! Clearly I need to rectify this…
Great tip on the net over the blueberry plant too. The berries on my plant are just starting to ripen and I hadn’t anticipated that the birds would try and steal them!!!
The birds are always up for a good blueberry or two Emma – as it seems they are for gooseberries, red currants and strawberries – or is this just me?
I can’t wait to grow my own berries once we sort the garden out as they are my favourite food. I’ve never had flapjacks with sesame seeds before – great idea!
Ooh you’ve got a garden Ros? Have I missed something? Sounds like it. Topping my flapjacks with sesame seeds is my signature – I’ve been doing it for years.
