Plas Y Brenin "mountain" Flapjacks
I recently went on a walking course at Plas Y Brenin and these flapjacks were so delicious when I was frozen on the hills and starving. Gooey and sticky and sugary to give you bags of energy! They publish all their receipes on their site and thats where this one is from, but I have drizzled melted chocolate over the top for an extra treat. My son loves them because he thinks thats what mountain climbers eat!!!
Ingredients
500g Oats
350g Golden syrup
250g Margarine
175g Demerara sugar
Any other topping or filling (e.g. dried fruit, chocolate chips)
Heat the margarine, sugar and syrup in a pan until the sugar has dissolved (tip the pan and lick the spoon also, you should not feel or see any sugar crystals). Use a low heat.
Add the oats and mix well (off the heat at this point or in a mixing bowl).
Grease a swiss roll tin and spread your mix into it. (my tin has internal dimensions of 24cm by 34.5cm)
Cook on middle shelf at 150oC for 25 minutes until golden brown. My oven is non-fan so I did an extra 5 minutes.
Decorate as desired. Tastes best when eaten on top of a mountain!
