Muesli bites

Anikawa Flapjacks - or muesli bites as I call them

125g butter/or nuttlex

75ml golden syrup

1tsp bicarb soda

1 tbsp water

75g porridge oats

75g sultanas or raisins

150g plain flour (I use wholemeal)

75g sunflower seeds

50g desiccated coconut

100g demerara sugar

150g apricots (I don't put these in as the kids don't like them)

I also add 2 tablespoons of flaxseed.

Melt the butter and syrup together in a saucepan. Dissolve the bicarb in the water and then add to the butter mixture. Stir until the mixture foams then set aside.

In a large bowl combine the remaining ingredients. Pour the butter mixture in and stir well until combined.  Tip into a lamington tin (27 x 18) and press down firmly. Bake for about 30mins. Allow to cool in the tin before cutting into bars.

Or put them into mini muffin -or big muffin - tins to make little bite size muesli delights!
