Ok, so It's Friday, week five of the Diet and I'm seriously gnashing for something sweet/biscuity/cakey.
In desperation, I've adjourned to the kitchen and done a little experimenting.
Weights and measures are approximate.
Mix 250gms large porridge oats in a bowl with your choice of chopped nuts, seeds, dried fruit, dessicated coconut etc. - a couple of tablespoons of each.
Coarsely grate in one medium eating apple and one small ripe pear - skin on both.
Two tablespoon runny honey.
One dessert spoon soft dark brown sugar.
One table spoon low fat spread (I used Lurpak lightest)
Pinch salt
Mix all well together. The mix should be quite damp. If it seems a little dry, leave it in the bowl for a while as the aplle and pear will continue to give up their juices and moisten the mix sufficiently.
Turn into a shallow 20cm baking tray - lined with silicone paper.
Press out evenly.
Bake gas 4 for 40-60 mins depending on if you want a soft flap jack or something more crisp.
Whilst still warm brush with a little more honey and mark into portions.
It will firm up as it cools.
Any port in a storm!.....
