Pear & Honey Flapjacks
Soft, chewy flapjacks are the perfect snack when you're out on a country walk, and they're a tasty treat tucked into lunchboxes too. These oaty flapjacks have fresh pears folded into the mix, alongside a pinch of mixed spice and a dash of vanilla.

Ingredients
- 200g mixed nuts
- 2 pears, weighing approximately 250g
- 1 lemon
- 125g unsalted butter
- 100g demerara sugar
- 100g honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 200g jumbo porridge oats
- 1 tsp mixed spice
Prep: 15 mins | Cook: 30 mins
Method
1. Preheat your oven to 160°C/Fan 140°C/Gas 3. Line a 20cm square tin with greaseproof paper – this will stop the flapjacks sticking to the tin.
2. Roughly chop the nuts. Quarter the pears and slice out the cores. Coarsely grate the pears, discarding any large pieces of skin that you can't grate. You should have around 150g grated pears. Finely grate the zest from the lemon.
3. Add the butter, sugar, honey, vanilla and lemon zest to a medium-sized pan and set over a medium heat. Warm till the sugar dissolves, stirring very occasionally. Add the oats, mixed spice, grated and the chopped nuts to the pan with a pinch of salt and stir to mix well, making sure the oats are well coated and sticky.
4. Scoop the mix into your prepared tin. Use the back of a spoon to spread them out and flatten them down. Place in the centre of your oven and bake for 30-40 mins or till the flapjacks are golden on the top and crispy around the edges.
5. Take them out of the oven and let them cool in the tin. When completely cool, turn out and slice into 9-12 squares, depending on how large you want your flapjacks to be. These flapjacks will keep well in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
6. Make Them Vegan
Swap the butter for coconut oil. It’ll give the flapjacks a softer consistency, but they'll still be delicious, especially once you've swapped the honey for maple syrup.

If you don't have pears, you can also make these flapjacks with the same weight of coarsely grated apples or mashed banana.

Made these tonight with pears from the garden. Easy recipe to follow and they taste fabulous. I swapped the nuts and added raisins along with the seeds.

These are such a good alternative to traditional flapjacks and less cloyingly sweet. I subbed golden syrup for honey, apple for pear and used pumpkin seeds. Mmm mmmmmm!
