Hungry Jenny Faux Pas: Flapjack Crumble

Those from the other side of the pond may understandably have been confused by this title. But let me clarify right now that this isn't about messing up a pancake. No, I'm talking flapjack in the oat bar sense.

With that in mind, you could say that this is not a bad effort. An oaty bar that crumbles a little when you bite into it, right?

Well, I'm not exactly showing you the whole picture here.

Um, yeah.

This shows the oaty remains after cutting a traybake's worth of flapjack into bars. Hm.

Clearly, there was not enough liquid in this to hold it altogether, which in this case was some beaten egg and olive oil. I did think that it looked a little bit dry when mixing it altogether, but I ignored my gut instinct to pour more olive oil in. (It's not great when you don't trust your own judgement is it!)

Somehow though, I managed to get 18 decent (well a couple did break) bars out of this.

The rest? Well, after staring at the sorry mess in disbelief for a while, I've scooped it all into a tub and think I will freeze to use as some sort of crumble topping for something else. There is just too much there to waste! Always a silver lining, eh?

More successful cake and cookie recipes.
