I’m currently trying to keep the children busy with a few activities such as baking, cooking and keeping fit. We’re all big fans of a sweet afternoon treat and now that we are spending all day every day at home, the need for suitable snacks and treats is more important than ever.
Instead of going out to shop for sweet things, I’m trying to get into the habit of baking and using up what I have in the cupboard. So, the first recipe I’m sharing with you are these simple store-cupboard flapjacks. So much better than shop bought flapjacks and much cheaper too.
