White chocolate and cranberry flapjacks

These are the most amazing flapjacks and I NEED to share the recipe with you. Cranberry and white chocolate have long been bedfellows – everyone loves the tang of cranberries mixed with the mellow sweetness of white chocolate! These are my new favourites. For a large tray of about 25 flapjacks, you will need: 250g butter (plus a bit extra...

Plum oat crumble

I absolutely love a good crumble. You can’t beat it for an easy but hearty pudding. I make my plum oat crumble for people regularly when I want a fuss free crowd pleaser.

The oatiness of the pancakes makes them super filling so you will be hot to trot till lunch time on these bad boys. Best served with fresh fruit (ideally strawberries, bananas and kiwis) with maple syrup and crispy bacon. Looks particularly...

Flapjacks

This was a lunchbox favourite in my house! Flapjacks are great because they’re easy peasy and inexpensive, and they’re really filling. So if you’re broke, they are a great thing to have as a snack! Also great to make with kids as they’re pretty minimal and very simple. You will need: 125g margarine or butter 125g brown sugar 100g golden...
