Nature’s Path Granola Flapjacks

Recipe

500g Nature’s Path Nice & Nobbly Granola

100g butter

100g maple syrup

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 large free-range egg

Method

Preheat the oven to 180 C
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and maple syrup together until they begin to bubble.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
In a large bowl big enough for all ingredients to fit in, thoroughly whisk the egg then pour over the granola, add the ginger and cinnamon and toss together until well coated.
Once sufficiently cooled, pour into the bowl the butter and maple syrup mixture, mix everything together until sticky and cohesive.
Line a 20cm square/rectangular tin with baking paper and then tip the flapjack mixture into this.
Press the mixture into the edges and compact into a dense layer, it’s important to press the mixture down really well as this is what creates enough solidity to slice once it’s cooled.
Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and lightly score the flapjack into 12 pieces allow to completely cool before cutting through otherwise it may crumble.
The flapjack will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
