White chocolate & raspberry flapjacks

Make a batch of these white chocolate and raspberry flapjacks for the whole family to enjoy – ideal for a mid-morning snack or picnic treat

Ingredients

• 200 g unsalted butter
• 200 g demerara sugar
• 200 g honey or golden syrup
• 400 g oats
• 200 g white chocolate chips
• 20 g freeze-dried raspberries
• 250 g white chocolate
• 150 g fresh raspberries
• 10 g freeze-dried raspberries

Steps

1. Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line a 23 x 23cm square baking tin with baking parchment. Tip the butter, sugar and honey into a medium pan over a low-medium heat, and stir until everything has melted together.
2. Tip the oats into a large bowl, then pour over the buttery sugar mixture and stir to combine. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then fold in the white chocolate chips and freeze-dried raspberries. Tip the flapjack mix into the prepared tin and press into the base. Bake for 20-24 mins until golden and crisp at the edges. Leave to cool in the tin for 2 hrs.
3. For the topping, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water, or in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Pour this over the cooled flapjacks, spread to the edges, then scatter over the fresh and freeze-dried raspberries. Leave to set for 1 hr, then cut into 12 large or 24 small squares. Will keep chilled for three days. Serve at room temperature.
