Gingerbread Flapjack

Another variation on a theme, a slight tweak to the normal fruity packed lunch flapjacks to give them a more seasonal feel. 

75g Hard Vegetable Margarine 

75g Date Syrup

Zest of 1/2 Orange

2 Grated Apples

1tsp Ground Cinnamon

1tsp Ground Ginger

1tsp Ground Mixed Spice

260g Rolled Oats

Put syrup and margarine on a bowl and melt together in the microwave.

Add fruit, spices & oats to the syrup mixture.

Mix well and tip into a lined or greased tin (mine is 18x25cm).

Spread out and press down in the tin with the back of the spoon.

Bake at 170ºC for 40 minutes. Cut into 12 bars with a sharp knife and leave to cool in the tin.
