Flapjack

[Florence Fennel]

I've got lots of salted peanuts, do you think I'd be able to grind them up and add to a flapjack mix?

And would it work with chocolate flapjack? I have to take a bake to work on Wednesday and there are a few staff who only want gluten free so I thought flapjack might be the easiest option?

It sounds fantastic! Peanuts make everything better!
When I make flapjack, I throw in anything I have to hand or fancy at the time, fruit, nuts, chocolate, coconut etc, so long as the overall consistency is similar to when I've make a plain oat one I consider it a completely flexible recipe and one I never measure.

Yes, you could add them to flapjack, either ground or chopped. I would rinse off the salt first. Put them in a sieve and hold under cold running water, then leave to drain and dry or pat dry with a clean tea towel. Should be delicious.

I was just thinking I liked the idea of leaving the salt on (like salted caramel).

I've never made any, but I am the world leading authority on eating it lol...……..sadly it's full of sugar and I can't have any, can you come up with a sugar free recipe...……….

Mixed bag of views there, FF. Typical gardeners!

I think if you were to leave the salt on all the peanuts, it would be too much. I'd wash most of it off. On the other hand, it's a good excuse for a trial run...

Edited to add: I'm a bit like peanut when it comes to flapjacks. I once made ginger flapjacks. Bit of ground ginger and some chopped up crystallised ginger. They went down well.
