1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs

Steps:

OAT CUISINE! SAVOURY CHEESE, NUT AND OAT FLAPJACKS



Oat Cuisine! Savoury Cheese, Nut and Oat Flapjacks image

Not really Oat Cuisine - Haute Cuisine - but I could not resist the title! These cheesy and nutty oat flapjacks are very tasty and easy to make; a savoury take on the usual sweet flapjack recipe which normally contains syrup, honey, sugar and fruit. Great for lunch box snacks as well as picnics or as an accompaniment to soups, stews and chili. Try to use a good quality mature Cheddar cheese for that essential "cheesy" zing! I have stated porridge oats, however these flapjacks are also wonderful when made with jumbo oats - which are a bit more expensive. To achieve a "full" flavour, it is essential to use both type of nuts; the peanuts give the flapjacks the savoury and almost salty flavour, whilst the pecans or walnuts give a subtle taste, texture and nutty "bite" to these little cheese, nut and oat bars! If you like your food with a bit of a kick, you can add some cayenne pepper, as I often do!

ALL BUTTER ENGLISH FLAPJACKS



All Butter English Flapjacks image

The best home made flapjacks ever, I prefer to use a mixture of jumbo oats and rolled oats but all oats work perfectly except for the instant style powdered type. If you don't have golden syrup you can use honey or a mixture of light and dark corn syrup but the taste won't be quite as good. Maple syrup is too thin but you could get away with using half maple and half honey or other syrup. These are great as they are and I always come back to the original, but sometimes I'll add some chopped banana, raisins or nuts, just to ring the changes. Enjoy.

ZUCCHINI FETA FLAPJACKS



Zucchini Feta Flapjacks image

I got this from a Kashi ad in Family Fun magazine, and just had to give it a try to use up some of the inevitable zucchini bumper crop! The flavor here is a bit mild, perhaps to make it more kid-friendly. When I make these again I will likely add something (more salt? some garlic? a flavored feta? who knows!) but they are really fine as written. We enjoyed them dipped in honey mustard.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups zucchini, grated (about 1 1/2 lbs)

3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

BLUEBERRY CHEESECAKE FLAPJACKS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Blueberry Cheesecake Flapjacks Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by ackmayhew

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 package (3 ounces) Philadelphia® Cream Cheese, softened
3/4 cup whipped topping
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1-1/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
3/4 cup maple syrup, warmed
Additional blueberries, optional

Steps:

  • For topping, in a small bowl, beat cream cheese and whipped topping until smooth. Chill until serving. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cracker crumbs, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Combine the eggs, buttermilk and butter; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in blueberries. Pour batter by 1/4 cupfuls onto a greased hot griddle; turn when bubbles form on top. Cook until the second side is golden brown. Spread topping over pancakes. Top with warm syrup; sprinkle with additional blueberries if desired.

Tips:

  • Use good quality oats. Steel-cut oats or rolled oats are the best choices for flapjacks, as they have a chewy texture and nutty flavor. Avoid using instant oats, as they will make your flapjacks too soft.
  • Don't overcook the oats. Oats should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked oats will make your flapjacks dense and gummy.
  • Use a large pan. This will help to ensure that the flapjacks are evenly cooked and not too thick.
  • Grease the pan well. This will prevent the flapjacks from sticking and will help them to brown evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. Leave some space between the flapjacks so that they can cook evenly.
  • Flip the flapjacks carefully. Use a spatula to gently flip the flapjacks so that you don't break them.
  • Cook the flapjacks until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a slightly crispy exterior.
  • Let the flapjacks cool before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Flapjacks are a delicious and versatile snack or breakfast food. They can be made with a variety of different ingredients, so you can easily customize them to your own taste. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect flapjacks every time.
