Ingredients

• 40 g butter (3 1/2 tbls US)
• 60 g margarine (4 tbls US)
• 80 g brown sugar (2/5 cup US)
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 250 g oats (3 1/10 cup US)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 banana, medium to large in size
• chocolate (optional)

Instructions

1. Melt the butter and the margarine in a deep saucepan over a very low heat.

2. Add the brown sugar and honey and mix well until you have a liquid substance.

3. Mix in the oats and pinch of salt -- it may be easier to add the oats in gradually stirring and covering the oats with the mixture.

4. Mash the banana into a liquid pulp and mix into the oats (this will take a good few minutes to ensure that the banana is fully mixed in).

5. Get a knife and spread the oats evenly over a greased baking sheet.

6. Place the baking sheet onto the middle shelf in a 425F preheated oven (gas mark 5, 220 C) and bake for 15 minutes, checking the progress regularly. Take out when the mixture starts turning a darker color - don't over bake.

7. Let stand for a minute or two, then cut the flapjack into as many pieces as you wish. You may find it best to leave the flapjacks for a few hours to cool down although you can eat them straight away.

8. Drizzle with melted chocolate if you'd like as a way to decorate but this is really not needed unless you want to dress up the flapjacks.
