Oatie Goodness
These flapjacks are made with the purest and most natural ingredients. They are not sugar-free or anything else like that. They are not meant to be. They are made with local Irish old-fashioned rolled oats, Irish butter from our local grass-fed Irish cows, Irish sugar, Irish sea salt and vanilla ( not Irish but get the very best quality one you can ). They are not processed or ultra processed. They are natural and homemade, buttery, sweet and the most delicious ( kinda wholesome) treat. The fruit and seeds are a lovely extra but I make these plain more often than not. I make this bigger batch, cut them into squares and store them in the freezer. Ideal with a cuppa on a rainy day, perfect for a picnic basket and ideal for when you are desperately searching for that “something else” in the lunchbox. I know your family will love my modern take on an old fashioned classic.
With fun and deliciousness,
