Cherry Bakewell Flapjack Recipe
In our house we always bake flapjacks but I like to try and vary them when I can. The idea came to me to try and make a Cherry Bakewell Flapjack and it couldn’t have turned out better. All those classic Bakewell flavours but in flapjack form. It’s delicious!
Servings 16 flapjacks
Ingredients
- 440 g Porridge Oats
- 80 g Ground Almonds
- 275 g Butter
- 155 g Light Brown Sugar
- 155 g Golden Syrup
- 2 tsp Almond Extract
- 150 g Cherry Jam or Cherry Compote
To decorate:
- Icing sugar
- Glace cherries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C and grease a suitable baking tin.
- Put the butter in a saucepan with the light brown sugar, golden syrup and almond extract. Melt in a pan over a low heat.
- Stir really well to make sure the mixture is melted together and well combined.
- Add the rolled oats and ground almonds to the melted syrup mixture and stir until completely covered and well mixed.
- Spread half the mixture onto the baking tray, making sure it is evenly spread.
- Spread an even layer of cherry jam over the flapjack mixture before topping with the rest of the flapjack mix. Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
- When fully cooled and still in the tin, mix the icing sugar with a little water and drizzle over the flapjack. Top with glacé cherries.
- Slice and enjoy.
