I really enjoy flapjacks – but the ones you can get in the shops can be rather dry and a bit bland sometimes. But the brilliant thing about Flapjacks is they’re so simple to make at home and they take no time at all and they’re a level above what you can get in the stores. Plus you can customise them to however you like! As I was making these flapjacks while under lockdown, I used what I had in the cupboards – so mine were packed with sultanas and cherries, but you can go with whatever you like! They’re super versatile and make great breakfasts that will keep you energised till lunchtime thanks to being packed with sugar and syrups.
