Golden Syrup & Date Flapjacks

Flapjacks are a moorish, filling and a lovely treat. To make ours a little different and add some fruit I add chopped dates. This gives them a lovely flavour. These are very simple to make. Using the food processor breaks down the oats a little to give a more refined flapjack. My little girl isn't keen on flapjacks, but the slightly more 'biscuity' texture of these gets gobbled up.
