  • 80 g light brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp agave syrup or maple
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp orange juice

For the orange drizzle

  • 1 tsp non dairy milk
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp orange juice
  • Zest of 1/2 orange other half used for flapjacks

Chocolate drizzle

  • 60 g dark chocolate

Instructions

For the flapjacks

  1. Preheat oven to 180 C and line a 30 x 20cm baking tray with baking paper (using some oil to stick it down to the tray)
  2. Add the spread, sugar, agave syrup, orange juice and orange zest to a medium pan on low/medium heat and stir until the spread melts and sugar dissolves.
  3. Put the oats and cinnamon and raisins in a large bowl and stir to combine
  4. Add the liquid ingredients from the pan to the dry ingredients and stir with a wooden spoon until the oats are fully covered
  5. Scoop the mixture onto the pre-lined baking tray and flatten evenly using a metal spoon.
  6. Bake for 15-20 mins until golden brown (they should still be soft to touch).

For the orange drizzle

  1. Sift the icing sugar in a bowl
  2. Then combine all the ingredients for the orange drizzle in the bowl using a spoon, add more sugar/water if the mixture is too thin or thick respectively.

For the chocolate drizzle

  1. Break up the chocolate into chunks into a bowl. Microwave (medium heat) for 4 minutes, stirring in between. Cook in 20 second burst until fully melted and runny
  2. Make sure the flapjacks are completely cool before adding the the orange drizzle followed by the chocolate drizzle. I used a teaspoon to drizzle it over.
  3. -ENJOY… with a lovely cuppa!
