Ingredients

  • 175g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 65g golden syrup
  • 100g light muscovado sugar
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 250g whole rolled porridge oats
  • 20g flaked almonds
  • 20g sesame seeds
  • 50g raisins
  • good pinch each of ground cinnamon and ground cloves

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 160˚C/fan 140˚C/gas 3. Grease and line the base of a baking tray about 26 × 18cm with baking paper.

  2. Place the butter, golden syrup, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over a low heat and cook until melted. Remove from the heat.

  3. Put the oats, almonds, sesame seeds, raisins and spices into a large bowl, add the butter mixture and stir well. Press evenly and firmly into the tray using the back of a spoon. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until firm and golden. Leave in the tray for 10 minutes, then use a sharp knife to mark into 6 pieces. Cool completely.

  4. Turn the flapjack granola out onto a chopping board. Cut into 6, using the marks as a guide, and divide between bowls. Top with warm milk and hulled and halved strawberries to serve, if you like.
