  I bake all the time but can never make a decent flap jack! This is at last a recipe that works for me and it is packed full of good for you things too. I will definitely be doing these again.

  Not tried this - but I do make flapjacks with same ingredients except for the fruit (sounds delicious). I always line the tin with baking parchment so I can get them out Must be baking parchment, greaseproof paper doesn't work the same

  I ddin't follow this recipe exactly as tesco metro didn't have the right stuff; i used a muesli base mix, a dried fruit mix and sunflower seeds. I think I didn't have enoigh golden syrup as they fell apart a bit but still very delicious. I took them to a tournament and were a great energy food for my team!

  Very tasty - but very sweet. Not one for the calorie-conscious, but that's not me so I loved them! Don't like nuts, so just increased the fruit content and worked fine. I was worried about not lining the tin, but they actually came out very easily (all that golden syrup I think!). Not massive fan of apricots so I might try a variation next time, but for a wheat-intolerant person like me, it is great to find a nice sweet snack I can actually eat :-) Would recommend

  Very nice! Made these with my 4 year old son, didn't use apricots or cranberies but added more raisins and sultanas. Once we let them cool we melted cooking chocolate and spread on top, refrigerated till hard then cut, GOOD GOOD!!!! I can get my 2 and 4 year old to do anything for a choccy flap jack!

  Just made these today - very nice but as a few other people have said, quite crumbly and don't hold together well at all. Going to see if I can get my son to eat them. Hopefully it will be a good way to get some nuts and seeds into him!!!

  Really gooey. Stuck together well as I used an icing smoother to press it down before and after it was cooked. Added sunflower seeds and used blanched peanuts instead of walnuts. Unfortunately I did line the tin with baking paper and it stuck to the base of the mixture.

  I used dried figs and lots of seeds instead of nuts, and 50g more oats. I am loving this recipe. I will try to take out some of the butter next time as they are very buttery (which is nice, but I'm trying to be more healthy!)

  Smashing! As it was just past Easter and I had a few bits of chocolate left over I cut up chunks and put them in the middle layer too, which was fab... 'Cause clearly what this recipe needed was a little bit more sin...

  These were a triumph. Naturally I tweaked the recipe somewhat. I thought the sugar and syrup measurements would make them very sweet so I just used 100g of sugar and 1 tablespoon of honey (instead of golden syrup). They were staggeringly good and I adored the chopped apricots in them. I'm going to make them again and next time add just 70g of sugar and the 1 tablespoon of honey to see if I can reduce the sugar content even more.

  I don't really like flapjacks as I've always found the shop bought ones very claggy....however....I made these for a friend as she can only swallow quite rough textured food due to a medical condition, and they are delicious! I accidentally set my fan oven at 160 Degrees but they came out perfectly - slightly crispy on top and chewy underneath. I cut them into squares as soon as I took them out the oven(leaving them in the tin to cool though). This made them easy to break into portions when cool. I added hazelnuts and sesame,poppy and linseed to the mix along with currants and dried apricots. YUM! Will be making these again as my husband loves this type of treat.

  Very tasty. Cut down on the amount of sugar and butter though as thought it would be ok with a bit less. Baking parchment stuck to them a little. I would chop them up while they are still warm rather than when they are completely cold. Seemed to taste better the next day to me. Good feedback from family and friends.
