• Press the mixture down firmly to help the flapjacks hold together.
• Allow the flapjacks to cool completely before slicing for neat squares.
• Roughly chop larger nuts so they’re easier to slice through.

Variations

• Swap the raisins and sultanas for dried cranberries or chopped apricots.
• Use walnuts, pecans, almonds or hazelnuts.

• Add a teaspoon of cinnamon for a warm spiced flavour.
• Stir in some chocolate chips once the mixture has cooled slightly.
