Have I mentioned English flapjacks? [View all]

Last fall, I was listening to an audiobook, a mystery set in England, and one of the characters bought someone a flapjack. I was interested in a description and the recipe. I was surprised to see that I had used the same recipe from one of my Gram's recipe books, maybe 3 times in the last 4 years. In her book, they are called Scotch Teas. If I had to describe them, I'd say they are like granola bars.They are quick and easy, and if you like oats, tasty. Gluten-free.
The first time I made them, they were hard, the second time, harder, the 3rd time I put raisins or dried cranberries in and they were ok, but still hard.
I made a batch today, and played with the recipe. I used a mix of butter and coconut oil, by accident, more than I should have, added a tbs of honey and some vanilla, then went crazy and added some peanut butter and white chocolate chips. I baked them for 15 minutes, not 20 or 25 as the recipe I followed called for.
This batch turned out good. Softer for sure. I hope when they are entirely cooled, they won't fall apart, but they taste good as they are.

I meant to bake these at Christmas. We had a lot of cookies and I'm glad I waited.
