  • 75 g Walnuts chopped

  • Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars. Dust with icing sugar if you like!

Notes

Expert Tip:
  • Don't attempt to cut the mincemeat tray bake into bars until they have completely cooled. It's best to leave them overnight if you can. Speed up the cooling process by placing the tin in the fridge.
 
Variations:
  • Add the zest of an orange or clementine to the mincemeat.
  • Add a grated apple to the mincemeat for a fruitier flavour.
  • Replace 3 tablespoons of oats with ground almonds for a softer textured bar.
  • Swap the chopped walnuts for crunchy flaked almonds.
  • Serve with creamy custard for a comforting winter pudding.
  • Dust with icing sugar before serving!
 
Storage:
Store: The flapjacks will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freeze: They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Once cool, place the bars into a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Defrost at room temperature before serving.
