Cranberry and Almond Flapjack


Flap JackIgnoring the pat of butter and the large amount of sugar that goes into flapjack, I was hoping that the oats and fruit, in this case cranberries, would be a healthy addition to this weeks diet.  Not happy with this recipe though (from Fresh magazine). The result, although tasty, is far too crumbly. What I expect in decent flapjack is something crunchy on the outside but softer and chewy in the center. Any recommendations?

Hmmm..I’m interested in what you mean by flapjack. I thought it was just another term for pancake , but looking at the recipe, I guess not –at least not in British English.

flapjack - not sure what else it would be called. Its an oaty, sweet tray-bake type thing. Usually it does not contain fruit as here.
