Fridgejacks

...As in Refrigerated Flapjacks. I was in the need for a quick, healthy snack and raided my cupboard for ingredients. The result: semi-sweet, crunchy and very satisfying Fridgejacks! Variation recipes for gluten-free and different flavours follow- and if you make your own variation, do post as a comment!

From The Lazy Baker

What you'll need:

1 Tbsp Sunflower oil

50g Barley malt extract

45g Toasted whole buckwheat

25g Rolled porridge oats

Pinch cinnamon

How to:

Heat up the oil and barley malt extract in a small saucepan, stirring all the time until two are incorporated. Then turn off the heat and stir in dry ingredients, making sure they are thoroughly coated with the sticky oil/malt mixture. The whole thing should be sticking together now.


Spread greaseproof paper onto a small plate and tip sticky mixture onto here. With oiled hands you can form the fridgejack into shape with out getting too stuck up.


Cover with more greaseproof paper and pop straight into the fridge. Your fridgejack should be set within 20 minutes- delicious, on the healthy side, fast food!

Gluten free variation:

1 Tbsp Sunflower oil

50g Brown rice syrup

45g Toasted whole buckwheat

25g Rice flakes

Pinch cinnamon

I will be experimenting with using agave in this recipe when I next have some in.
