Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Lightly oil a shallow 20cm/8in loose-based square cake tin and line the base and sides of the tin with baking parchment.
- Melt the butter and syrup together in a large saucepan over a low heat, stirring regularly with a wooden spoon. Take off the heat and stir in the seeds, cranberries, raisins and apricots and oats. Stir in the egg.
- Spoon into the prepared tin and press until well flattened. (It's important that the oats are pressed well, so that they stay firm enough to cut when baked. Use the back of a metal spoon to make sure they are fully compressed). Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden and lightly browned around the edges.
- Mark the flapjack into 12 pieces without cutting all the way through, this will make it easier to cut the flapjack when it's cool. Leave until cold then cut the flapjack with a sharp knife.
- Store in an airtight container, interleaved with baking parchment or foil for up to three days.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 180C/160C fan Gas 4 and grease a shallow 7" square tin/pan.
- Put the dates in a small pan with about 4 tablespoons of water and heat gently, stirring, until they form a stiff paste. If it's looking a little dry add more water and heat a bit more.
- Whilst that's happening you can measure out your oats in a separate bowl and add the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, blueberries, spices and roughly mix them all together.
- Put the sugar, syrup, honey and butter into another large saucepan and heat gently, stirring to melt it all together. Add the oat mix and date paste then mix well.
- Press into your tin/pan and bake for about 25 minutes or until set and light golden brown. Cut into squares when warm but leave to cool in the tin.
- Store in an airtight container and use within a week, although I seriously doubt they'll last that long!

- Sweeten with natural ingredients: Instead of refined sugar, use honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar.
- Add nuts and seeds: For a boost of healthy fats and protein, stir in chopped nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, or pecans) or seeds (such as chia seeds, flax seeds, or sunflower seeds).
- Use dried fruits: For a chewy texture and natural sweetness, add dried cranberries, raisins, cherries, or apricots.
- Spice things up: For a warm and cozy flavor, add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger.
- Make them gluten-free: Use certified gluten-free oats and omit any ingredients that contain gluten, such as wheat flour.
- Make them vegan: Use plant-based butter or oil instead of butter, and use a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water) instead of an egg.
