last week lola and i were making flapjack, spied some butterscotch chips in the cupboard and decided to throw them in, added a couple overripe bananas and out came the most delicious tasting flapjack! the first batch went down a treat at home and at my knitting group. this week when i was baking some cakes, more of this flapjack was demanded and several people asked for the recipe on twitter. so here it is!
note: these weights are approximate – i don’t tend to weigh things out when making flapjack, i just go on how it looks.
you’ll need: 250g rolled oats 150g butter 75g golden syrup 75g dark brown sugar 75g butterscotch chips 2 largeish ripe bananas, mashed
melt the butter, sugar and syrup together, then mash in the bananas. stir in the rolled oats, and lastly the butterscotch chips. put the mixture into a greased cake tin, and bake at 175 °C (Gas Mark 4) for 25/30 mins.
turn out, allow to cool and cut into squares. enjoy!!
I love making (and eating!) flapjacks but I’ve never tried banana and butterscotch before. They sound lovely! Definitely something to try sometime I think :-)
