Fruity Scottish Flapjacks

 

Jump to Recipe:

I though it was about time to do another Scottish recipe, as it’s been a while since my last Scottish baking adventure. And in the spirit of trying as many of the Scottish baking treats as possible I thought I should go for a classic. Flapjacks with a small twist making them fruity Scottish flapjacks instead 🙂

 

 

These are a yummy sweet chewy treat that is packed full of oats and sultanas and there is even a small hint of ginger in them. These make wonderful lunch box treats, who can resist a lovely flapjack?

 

 

Another great thing about these is you can use this as a base recipe and add in what you like. If you don’t like sultanas you could easily add dried tropical fruit and a few tablespoons of shredded coconut. Chocolate chips would also work well here. Or a drizzle of chocolate over the top would be lovely. But I wanted to keep mine a little more traditional.

 

 

But then there are those that will say sultanas are not very traditional, but hey I really like them 😉

 

 

What I really like about this recipe is it’s so simple to make. All it takes is one small saucepan and a large mixing bowl, hardly any dishes at all! Seriously who likes doing dishes? Melt half the ingredients together butter, sugars and golden syrup, allow it to cool a little then add it to the big bowl of oats, ginger and sultanas. Seriously simple!

 

 

These will stay soft and chewy for up to 5 days in an airtight tin, if you can get them to last that long. These are great for all the family and could almost be considered healthy… well I did say almost 😉
