Tins

I have a friend whose child loves putting bits and bobs in tins, they can be expensive so I've been making up some tins for her that can be used and discarded cheaply.  I've used an Ike's Art Image for this one.

Granola Flapjack Bars

Today I'm blogging about food, don't panic I'm not going to get distracted and ramble like I have done previously.  These Banana granola bars are really nice BUT:  Don't forget to turn the oven down if need be or they will burn like mine, they is only a subtle banana flavour which is good because I'm not keen on banana and finally I feel they are too big so should be cut into smaller bars.  I hasten to add they aren't so firm as a flapjack so if you want them to be as set as flapjack double the butter and golden syrup quantities until you get the set you require.

Granola Flapjack Bars

Preheat oven to 200oc

50g Butter

2 tabelspoons golden syrup or two generous squirts

400g granola

Melt butter and syrup together

Add granola and mix until glossy

Pop in a lined tin

Cook for approx 10mins but watch incase the oven needs to be turned down.

When golden remove from oven cut into bars and leave in the tin until stone cold.
