Honey and Peanut Butter Flapjacks
This is how it goes…there is nothing in the biscuit tin. There is nothing in the cake tin. I’m craving something sweet, so what do I have in the cupboard that would make a quick and easy sweet treat?
Use ingredients from the pantry
- Rolled oats
- Honey
- Peanut Butter
- raisins, sultanas, dried apricots
- brown sugar
- Pumpkin and sunflower seeds (or nuts)
- An orange
- A lemon
- butter
This recipe for Honey and Peanut Butter Flapjacks is ideal for me. Because I always have oats, dried fruits, and a mix of pumpkin and sunflower seeds in the house I can make them anytime.
Use any nuts, seeds or dried fruit that you have, just keep to the quantities in the recipe.

It’s nice to have something around to nibble which, satisfies the need for sweetness but, is still good for you too. These Cranberry and Sour Cherry Flapjacks meet the brief and I love the sharpness of the sour cherries contrasting with the sweet flapjack.
Fruity, Nutty, Oaty Flapjack Bars are easy to make and brilliant for filling lunch boxes and cake tins. But best of all they are endlessly adaptable to the ingredients you have in your larder.

Honey and Peanut Butter Flapjacks
Ingredients
- 125 grams (4.41 oz) unsalted butter
- 150 grams (5.29 oz) soft brown sugar or light muscovado sugar
- 125 grams (4.41 oz) no-sugar-added crunchy peanut butter
- 75 grams (2.65 oz) honey plus a little more to finish
- Finely grated zest of 1 orange
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- 200 grams (2.47 cups) porridge oats not jumbo
- 150 grams (5.29 oz) dried fruit such as raisins, sultanas and chopped apricots, prunes or dates, either singly or in combination
- 150 grams (1.07 cups) mixed seeds such as pumpkin, sunflower, poppy, linseed and sesame
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/gas mark 3. Grease and line a baking tin, about 20cm square.
- Put the butter, sugar, peanut butter, honey and grated citrus zests in a deep saucepan over a very low heat. Leave until melted, stirring from time to time.
- Stir the oats, dried fruit and three-quarters of the seeds into the melted butter mixture until thoroughly combined. Spread the mixture out evenly in the baking tin, smoothing the top as you go.
- Scatter the remaining seeds over the surface and trickle with a little more honey. Bake for about 30 minutes, until golden in the centre and golden-brown at the edges.
- Leave to cool completely in the tin (be patient – it cuts much better when cold), then turn out and cut into squares with a sharp knife. These bars will keep for 5-7 days in an airtight tin.
These look very tasty and wholesome Janice!
They certainly fill you up, Stuart.
They look so moist and deep x
Yes, I like a nice deep bar and they are nice and chewy.
Oh my, those look gorgeous. I could just eat one now with my cuppa
Thanks Alison, they are perfect with tea or coffee.
Oh yummy! LOVE bars like this Janice, and packed with so much good stuff too. Like you I've always a stock of nuts, seeds, oats and dried fruits!
Thanks Lou, they would be easy for kids to make too.
A FABULOUS tea time treat Janice and one that I would be happy noshing in morning, noon or night!
Glad to hear that Karen, I'll certainly be making them again.
These are prefect for my household as we eat a lot of oats, seeds and dried fruit plus all adore peanut butter. Won't last 5 minutes. I guess that is the idea.
Thanks Madeleine, I managed to keep them for about a week, but that's with no kids in the house and strict rationing lol!
I'm a big flapjack fan, these look lovely and they seem to keep well too!
Thanks Fiona, they do keep well, but don't last long!
I would like to try these with almond butter. Like the addition of seeds.
Almond Butter would be lovely, I did you some Whole Earth 3 Nut butter at part of the mix, I was clearing out half empty jars for the others!
Peanut butter in flap jacks! I am so sold. Two of my favourite things together. Saved to try 🙂

Lol, you could whip up a batch yoursef, I've already eaten too many of them.
