Flapjacks!

These are the most delicious biscuits I have ever made....and probably the most unhealthy. You have been warned!

The recipe is by Mary Berry and is very simple.

Melt 8oz butter, 8oz Demerara sugar and 3oz golden syrup in a pan. Add 10 oz porridge oats.

Flatten out mixture in a lined baking tray and bake at 140c for 35 minutes until pale golden brown. Remove from oven and after 10 minutes cut into squares (small ones!).

Leave to cool in the tin.

Try not to eat them all at once.

Baby biscuits #1

Miss Maisie loves food and hasn't refused anything yet! Now that she is on three meals a day the next problem was suitable snacks. I don't want to give her sugar or salty snacks with any additives.

So, I came across this easy peasy biscuit recipe here and made them for the first time this morning.

They are a huge success! They take less time than getting packed up to go to the shops to buy sugar loaded baby rusks so give them a go. I'll try them again and experiment with flavours.

Heat oven to 180c and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.

Wizz a couple of handfuls of oats in a food processor. Mash a banana.

Add oats to the banana to make a thickish paste then shape on the baking tray.

Bake for 15 minutes or so. The longer you bake them the harder they get.

Cool and enjoy.

Seriously, that's it!
