I make - Flapjack cookie bars

Mr Oliver's recipe, easy to remember and to execute. No additional spices required as I simply enjoy the toasted oat flavor from the final goods. Warm and comforting. The cookies are crispy and with good taste.

Flapjack cookie bars

Ingredients

100 g salted butter, at room temperature

100 g dried fruit & nuts (I used 50 g walnuts/sunflower seeds and 50 g sultanas) + 2 tbsp chia seeds

100 g porridge oats

100 g gluten-free flour blend + 1/2 tsp baking powder

100 g maple syrup

Method

Preheat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4.

Line a deep 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper and rub with olive oil.

Pulse the butter, dried fruit and nuts, chia seeds, oats and flour in a food processor until the mix comes together and away from the sides, then pulse in the syrup until fully combined. I roughly chopped dried fruits and nuts before mixing with roughly blended oats, melted butter and the rest of ingredients.

Transfer to the lined tin, flattening to the edges. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden.

Remove from the oven, slice into 16 squares ready to cut, and leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes.

Use the paper to lift out on to a wire rack, and leave to cool completely.
