Christmassy Flapjacks
Christmassy Flapjacks
I am currently learning German, at the end of course party everyone was asked to bring a dish that was from their country. I chose Flapjacks, while they are pretty common in the UK, I had not seen them in Zurich and I thought it would be nice to show my fellow classmates that we have some great dishes. Flapjacks are easy to make, healthier than the usual sweet treats and a great comfort food. The beauty of this recipe is that you can add anything to it. I was feeling the festive spirit so I added some orange zest and cinnamon.
Ingredients
35g Butter
35g Margarine
70g Brown sugar
2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Dessicated coconut
175g Rolled oats
75g Chopped nuts
140g Dried fruit
½ tsp of Cinnamon
1 tsp Orange zest
Method
- Put the butter, brown sugar and honey into a small pan, then heat gently until the mixture has melted and combined into a golden liquid.

- Enjoy 🙂
