It’s no secret that we love making flapjacks and always make them with whatever we have in the kitchen at the time – cherry flapjacks, banana flapjacks and even mincemeat flapjacks but our latest creation is Apricot Flapjacks.

How do you make Apricot Flapjacks?

This apricot flapjacks recipe could not be easier. You need all the usual flapjack ingredients – light brown sugar, butter or margarine, golden syrup and porridge oats. And then you just add chopped dried apricots to the mix. It’s super easy but gives delicious results.

Can you vary this recipe?

Although we use light brown sugar, you cam use any sugar you like. We’ve also used maple syrup before and the flapjacks taste great so either maple syrup or golden syrup works really well. You could also try using fresh apricots too although we always have dried apricots in the cupboard so they are our go to for this recipe.

How do you store flapjacks?

We usually store these soft chewy flapjack oat bars in an airtight container and they last well for up to a week – although they never last that long! The whole family love flapjacks and so we make them regularly, they don’t usually need storing in our house!
