Graze fruit and seed flapjack is the best flapjack in the world. Discuss.

Love flapjack as long as it is moist, can't be doing with 'crispy' flapjack, and has plenty of fruit. Slightly ambivalent on the whole question of seeds. Food of the Gods. |

I've always considered Soreen to be the best thing to eat on the bike. I may be thinking of switching to flapjack.

Haven't had Soren for ages, going to have to get some now! Also love flapjacks, my fave snack on a long run are little mini flapjacks.

Bake your own ? Dead simple, cheaper, and you can get your own preference for how much fruit/seeds/"moistness" etc |

This one's from the BBC website, if you google there are hundreds, all pretty similar with variations on what to include The back of a packet of Scots Porridge Oats has a flapjack recipe on it as well that works well Ingredients 150g/5oz butter, cubed 80g/3oz soft light brown sugar 80ml/3fl oz clear honey 250g/9oz rolled porridge oats 80g/3oz dried cherries 80g/3oz dried cranberries 1 tbsp desiccated coconut 50g/2oz hazelnuts, shells removed, chopped Preparation method 1.Preheat the oven to 180C/360F/Gas 4. 2.Melt the butter, sugar and honey together in a pan over a medium heat. 3.Add the rolled oats, dried cherries, dried cranberries, desiccated coconut and hazelnuts and stir well. 4.Pour the flapjack mixture into a greased 30cm/12in x 20cm/8in square baking tin. Press the mixture into the corners and smooth the top. 5.Place into the oven to bake for 20 minutes, or until golden-brown and bubbling. 6.Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Turn out of the tin and cut into equal-sized squares. |

The thing with eating flapjack on a bike is that as soon as you put it in your mouth it immediately sucks all the water out of every other body part. If you do it in a race then someone will attack at exactly the same moment and you find yourself trying to breathe through a mouthful of seeds etc as well as your ears/arse/rsae/esar. Shovel it in... is my advice. |

Never any good at baking them but tesco mini flapjacks are very acceptable IMHO and keep me plodding along quite happily.
