Chocolate covered coconut flapjacks recipe

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

A very easy and tasty recipe 😋

Oven at 160 fan assisted (180 otherwise).

225g oats

150g butter

50g sugar

2 tbs golden syrup

20g dessicated coconut

140g chocolate (or however much suits)

Melt together the butter, sugar and syrup. Take off the heat. Stir the coconut through the oats, then add the mix to the metled butter and sugar. Line your tin and tip your oat mixture in and press down.

Bake for 15 mins. Allow to cool.

Melt the chocolate, pour and smooth over the top (or as a pattern). I added some edible gold glitter too for exta sparkle ✨️

Put in fridge and allow chocolate to set. Then cut into pieces and enjoy. I put them back in the fridge though as it’s quite warm still so they’ll melt if left out.

Very tasty, could do with a bit more coconut I think next time.

Flapjacks recipe

~ MKW Publishing ~ 1 Comment

For some unknown reason over the years I completely forgot I liked flapjacks and had two jobs in bakeries, one of them being a trainee confectionist. The next batch I make might just have to half dipped in chocolate, so watch this space. From nowhere though recently, I decided to make them. I like to be organised when baking sweets things and always weigh everything out out first, I didn’t have a recipe for this so looked through the internet until I found one and scaled down the measurements for a small batch.

125g Butter

125g Demerara sugar

35g Golden syrup

170g Oats

Oven at 180 degrees – bake for 20-25 minutes and cool for 20 minutes. (with fan assisted I suggest either higher temperature or bake for longer, I should have done it for about 35-40 minutes I suspect). This is super simple and quick and a great homemade snack/treat.

Ingredients

Melt the butter and add the sugar and golden syrup. When the sugar has melted stir through the oats. Then press into your prepared tin and smooth out (you can use the back of a spoon to press it flat).

Stage 1

Once it’s baked (turned pale or golden brown), take out and cut into squares and eat 🙂

Stage 2 – done!
