Flapjack is classic British snack.
Not to be confused with the American flapjack which is a pancake.
British flapjack is actually an oat bar!
You can add your favourite fruits or nuts to this recipe and give it an interesting flavour.
Similar to a granola bar, oat bars can be eaten if you need an instant pick-me-up.
Basically it is healthy food on the go!
