Hot Cross Bun Flapjacks

INGREDIENTS:

  • 45g Jordans no added sugar Muesli
  • 1 beaten egg
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sweetener
  • Finely grated small carrot or apple
  • ½ teaspoon ground mixed spice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground all spice
  • ½ teaspoon orange extract
  • 7g raisins
  • 7g mixed peel
  • 2 glace cherries, quartered

METHOD:

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with grease-proof paper.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients together.
  3. Add the carrot/apple mixed peel, raisins, cherries and stir.
  4. Add the orange extract and mix thoroughly.
  5. Add the egg a little at a time and just enough to bind it all together.
  6. Allow the mix to sit for a few minutes so the muesli soaks up some of the moisture from the egg.
  7. Spread out on the baking tray about an inch thick.
  8. Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 minutes.
  9. Either enjoy fresh from the oven or allow to cool and set in the fridge to harden.

NOTES:

  • I made up a tiny amount of icing sugar with 1 teaspoon icing sugar mixed with lemon juice to make a runny icing and made a cross on the top once they were cool to give the “cross” on the top. This is an optional step and isn’t needed if you don’t want it.
