Hey guys! A super simple basic recipe jazzed up for you today. Flapjacks are probably one of the easiest bakes to make and I thought a delicious peanut butter and Reeses version had to be done. These take a few minutes to make up and are perfect to have made up for a during the week snack.
These take such little time to prepare. Feel free to leave out the extra topping if you want them that little bit healthier. If you are feeling extra fancy you can replace the Chocolate chips with chopped up Reese’s cups. I have portioned these peanut butter flapjacks into 9 large portions but feel free to cut these up smaller. If you like you can freeze these into portions so they stay fresh and you can take them out of the freezer as you needs them. Just make sure to wrap them up really well.
If you would like to make these extra chocolatey you could replace 20g of the oats with cocoa powder. This is completely optional. If you would like to change these up and use a different nut butter that is completely fine too! An Almond butter flapjack instead of a peanut butter flapjack sounds delicious too. The golden syrup in this recipe can be substituted for honey or any syrup you like. Eg. Maple syrup.
