It only seems a few days ago that I was ironing creases out of new shirts, making sure the school bag was packed properly and saying goodbye to the back of summer – back to school is now well and truly past in this household.
That also means the end of unprepared lunches as rather than cooking something for lunch, we need to prepare something the night, or morning before.
Skint Mum always used to make these Honey and Oat bars and hasn’t for ages. I’m not sure why but luckily, she decided to make a batch at the weekend (followed by another batch within 30 minutes as we’d eaten most of them!).

After the dish has mostly cooled, Skint Mum usually pops it into the fridge to get it really cold before cutting them up.
We get 8 bars out of our recipe but if we used a different dish, or wanted thinner bars we may be able to get more but I quite like them just the ways she does them.

Hi.
This is a basic flapjack – yes.
Although I made a basic recipe this time, I have added other things in too. Last weekend my batch also had raisins and sunflower seeds. It made them a lot more granola like and were even more filling. It’s fun experimenting with other fillings (maybe we’ll add some chocolate drops next time!)

We’ve been making these all week, The kids love them. We plan on doing a big batch to freeze for school lunch treats. Our favourite was adding diced up fresh strawberries with chocolate drops. The blueberry batch was nice too. Thank you Guys for this amazing recipe.
