This is to be made before camping / hiking, not during, but:
Calorie Dense Flapjacks
Ingredients
180g butter
60g brown sugar
4 tablespoons maple syrup
250g porridge oats
50g mixed nuts
150g dried cranberries (or raisins)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
200g dark cooking chocolate
Steps
-
Pre-heat the oven to 180°C
-
Melt the butter in a saucepan with the sugar and maple syrup.
-
Once melted into an homogenous liquid, add the oats, nuts, cranberries, and cinnamon. Mix well until everything has an even coating.
-
Spread onto a baking tray and bake in the oven for 15m.
-
Remove from the oven to cool.
-
Once cooled, melt the chocolate and spread on top.
-
Allow to cool and restrain yourself from consuming until out in the hills.
For the sake of simplicity I often don't bother melting the chocolate on top, and just take it separately.
