Don’t Forget! 📌
Slicing the flapjacks while they are still hot is an important step in the recipe. If you allow it to harden, it may become crumbly and not cut out into nice squares. You can also change up the dried fruits by using some coconut, or even nuts in this recipe. There are lots of variations. One could even use chopped up apples, or pineapples. The important thing is that whatever you use, will be delicious!
