Apple and cinnamon flapjacks
Load your flapjacks with fresh apple and dried apricots for a delicious twist on a classic bake that provides 1 of your 5-a-day. These are great for lunchboxes or snacking on the go.
- Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Line a square 20cm baking tray with baking paper.
- Melt the baking spread, sugar and cinnamon in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Cook for 3-4 mins, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted. Stir in the apricots, oats and 50g seeds until well mixed. Stir through the apples.
- Spoon into the prepared tray and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30-35 mins until lightly golden. Cool for 10 mins in the tray, then use a knife to cut into 12 equal-sized pieces. Cool fully.
- Mix the icing sugar with 1-1½ tsp orange juice and a pinch of the zest. Drizzle over the flapjacks and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tbsp seeds.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tip: Use gluten-free oats, if required.
