i love sunday’s this time of year. you know the one’s. where it’s all about the afternoon walks, comfort food eating and most importantly, the baking of said comfort food. throw a footie match {and a screaming mama!} into the mix nowadays too. {won one and lost one, if you were wondering. AND i got told there’s no need to shout if it’s obvious he’s not going to get the ball…} and last weekend was no different.
based on the recipe you will find here, i decided to make a quick batch of flapjacks. i’m all for spare of the moment, me. so, i wasn’t that surprised to see that i didn’t have enough honey {enough to fill about one tablespoon} to make…err, honey flapjacks! doh. and seeing as the butter and sugar were already in the pan melting, i couldn’t do a last minute dash to the shop either. so here is where they title of this post comes in. i opened the cupboard to grab the golden syrup and upon doing so, saw the bag of pumpkin seeds we had. grabbed them both and continued to add the syrup {two tablespoons}.
once everything was dissolved i added the oats and then threw in pumpkin seeds and chopped up milk chocolate, adding these until it looked like there was enough. i then continued to follow the instructions.
ladies and gents…you will not be disappointed. they are gooey, they are crunchy, they are soo good with a coffee at elevenses.
and maybe with your first coffee in the morning.
and definitely with that 3 o’clock coffee…
oh and pumpkin seeds and i?…definitely got a thing going on.
OH BAY-BAY!
Wow, these are unbelieveably delicious looking, come live with me? Please? Thanks for linking up to #tastytuesdays
It’s the unexpected that lead to flashes of genius…am sure the golden syrup and pumpkin seeds make it all the better!
