Very easy, very good, great travellers and they last for ages – flapjacks are ideal for holiday trips, camping trips, lunchboxes, anything. I’m not saying they’re health food but I do think they’re better for us than lots of the stuff sold as muesli bars. And they’re definitely tastier!
Grease and line a 6 cm (2½ inch) deep, 19 x 10 cm (7½ x 4 inch) loaf tin with baking paper.
Blitz the oats in a food processor for a few seconds, then tip into a bowl.
Combine the butter, honey and sugar in a saucepan.
Stir over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the hot butter mixture over the oats, add the salt and chocolate chips and stir to combine.
The chocolate should melt into the mixture as you stir, but it’s fine to have some chunks remaining.
Press the mixture into the tin and bake for 1 hour.
Leave the flapjacks to cool completely before cutting them into squares or bars.
