Crunchy Nut Cornflake Flapjack

Crunchy Nut Cornflake Flapjack recipe from Lucy Loves Food Blog

Crunchy Nut Cornflake Flapjack recipe

This week has been a long one and a busy one and it’s only bloody Wednesday. And with December nipping at our heels it’s only going to get busier. And for that reason, this Crunchy Nut Cornflake Flapjack is the recipe of the day. It’s quick, it’s buttery and in the time it will take you to make this, you will have eaten the whole batch.

Flapjack has long been a favourite recipe of mine. It covers all bases; it’s loved by schools for cake sales, rowers pre regatta and by my whole family who adore an oat based bake. For me it’s the stir and bake, one pan nature of a flapjack that I love and adding Crunchy Nut Cornflakes is an absolute gem of an idea *thank you to the Sainsbury’s Magazine*. The cereal adds crunch and nutty sweetness and makes these flapjacks borderline addictive.

I said I was short on time this week, so that’s enough rambling. Here are the one pan, chewy, nutty stars of the show.

What’s not to love about this line up? I am not a huge cereal fan, but if I am going to have a bowl, it will be Crunchy Nut Cornflakes, hence the jumbo sized box. The rest is simple; butter, golden syrup and brown sugar – the flapjack stalwarts.

Start, in standard fashion, by pre heating your oven to 160 degrees fan assisted and by lining a 20cm square tin. Next, take a large saucepan and measure in the butter, soft brown sugar, golden syrup and salt.

Melt gently, over a low heat, until the sugar has dissolved and it’s just come up to the simmer. Turn off the heat.

Tip in the oats and the cereal and stir well making sure they’re well coated in the buttery sweet mixture.

Scrape this into your lined tin, trying not to eat big mouthfuls of mixture as you go. Press down to create a level surface.

Bake this for a scant 20 minutes until the flapjack is golden and firm and smelling oh so good.
