| Beetroot Flapjacks perfect for a summer day ! |
I really am all about pushing my food boundaries forward , in fact should there even be boundaries ?
I 'll be honest beetroot to me was a food I associated with obligatorily been rolled onto the summer salad plate or the token salad item at Christmas.
- 113g (4oz) butter
- 113g (4oz) golden syrup
- 225g (8oz) porridge oats
- 56g (2oz) self-raising flour
- 1 small to medium beetroot , coarsely grated

| Beetroot Flapjack super easy and tasty! |
- Preheat the oven to 180 C / Gas 4. Line a small shallow baking tray with either baking parchment or as I commonly use lake lands cake release as the flapjacks will just slide out.
- Over a medium heat melt the butter and golden syrup together in a pan , mix well.
- In a large bowl mix together oats, flour, cinnamon and coarsely grated beetroot . You have to peel the beetroot if you don't have gloves just put some food bags on your hands while peeling the beetroot !.
- After pour the syrup mixture gently into the dry indregients and mix well Pour the syrup mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well. Spread the mixture over the baking dry making it level with the back of a spoon.
- Bake for exactly 20 minutes, until firm and golden brown. Let the flapjacks cool for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into pieces, then leave them to cool again. After this spread melted milk chocolate over them and leave to cool.

The flapjacks are a little crumbly but do hold together the sweetness combined with the golden syrup does come through.
