A flapjack recipe with apple, oats & pecans

A flapjack recipe is a failsafe snack, especially when you want to feel vaguely healthy as you nibble one with your mid-morning coffee. They're energy-boosting from the oats and keep you full for a long time, hence their perennial popularity. Plus, they travel well so you can take some in your pockets if you're off for a walk or pop one in your handbag and know it'll still be OK by mid-afternoon when you need a pick-me-up.

A flapjack recipe to bookmark

The mix of honey, oats and nuts makes a standard flapjack, but you can add in other things for more interest – in our flapjack recipe, we've opted for apples and pecans to give it a little something extra. If you can't get hold of pecans, another nut of your choosing will do just fine but if you can, we highly recommend them. Once you've tried these, you'll come back to the recipe again and again.
