Fresh from the garden to the kitchen

We have some favourite traybake recipes: some are actually baked and others are no-bake specials. This multi-seed flapjack is one of the best as it sticks together perfectly. We tend to make it in much bigger batches than described in the recipe.

We used to bake this flapjack for a cafe in Aberlour while they were getting started and finding their feet. It was popular there as well.

“That’s brilliant. Your flapjacks were one of the highlights during my first Scottish winter trip. ” – Thomas Schehr, after his visit with us on our Classic Winter Cairngorms walking holiday.
