Notes

Tips

I used giant rolled oats as that’s what I had in my pantry. I also threw in some pitted dates. You can  add whatever you have leftover in your kitchen. Ensure that the dry ingredients you use, in total, are 250 g (between nuts and fruit)
Other suggestions for nuts you can use would be walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, salted peanuts (not roasted), macadamia, almonds, Brazil, cashew, pecan. Similarly dried fruit from sultanas, raisins, figs, apricots, dates and cranberries
Adding more nuts will give the gooey sticky spiced flapjacks a bit of crunch, but the chewy sweetness with a little hint of spice will make them feel indulgent!
