    Very quick to make and a good result. Couldn't get pistachios so used chopped hazelnuts instead. They worked very well and were cheaper than pistachios!

    A great recipe for us in South of France who can't get golden syrup for our flapjacks (which all my Expat friends miss). Careful of your teeth on these though!

    Replaced pistachios with desiccated coconut and was a great success :)

    Really nice and tasty, apricot and pistachos added texture as well. Honey meant that they were not over sweet. Plus they are quick to make too!

    Very tasty indeed, think this will be my 'go to' flapjack from now on. I think I will try making a thicker layer next time as some pieces didn't hold together well. However, I don't find this a problem as they get eaten regardless!

    Lovely! Seem a bit healthier using honey rather than syrup.

    Maybe it's just us but we thought these were really greasy - I might try them again but cut back on the butter and hope that they still hold together although not sure I want to potentially waste all the other ingredients again.

    I added a bit of golden syrup as we didn't have much honey left and they were fantastic and wonderfully chewy. Loved the apricots in them.

    I substituted golden syrup and walnuts and this worked nicely. They tasted good, but the texture wasn't very flapjack-ish in my opinion. They were more stodgy in the middle rather than chewy. Will probably seek another flapjack recipe, but may make these again.

    Very nice indeed, the best flapjacks I've found. Nice and squidgy texture. Used mixed seeds instead of (expensive) pistacios and a mixture of raisins and apricots. Cut them into squares while they are still a bit warm.

    These were delicious - nice and chewy. If you let them cool properly, they are neither stodgy or greasy. I cut them into rectangles and then dipped one half in chocolate. I would double the quantity next time though.

    Very easy recipe. I altered it slightly by adding in some lemon zest to cut through some of the sweetness and also added in extra oats for a stiffer mix. The flap jacks held together no problem

    This is easy and delicious. They didn't fall apart like some other fruity flapjacks tend to. Perfect for taking out on our field trip in the Hebrides. It was good to use some tasty honey instead of syrup.

    These were lovely, I didn't have any nuts so put a combination of apricots, sultanas and prunes in, but I think you could use whatever you have in the house. The texture was lovely, like a Pret a Manger flapjack! You do need to leave them in the tin to cool as they can crumble when cutting, but they taste delicious. I think you could get away with using less honey as they are quite sweet, but everyone in the family loved them and they are so quick and easy to make I think they will be a regular in our house!

    Easy to make did not have pistachios or apricots so used cranberries and walnuts with some coconut. They were delicious. Will definitely cook again

    These are totally delicious, great for packed lunches, field trips or hiking. Wrap in squares of greaseproof paper and pop in the freezer. I agree that they need to be completely cooled down before cutting. I keep making these as they are sooooo good!
