13 May Sesame flapjacks (no sugar)
My apologies. My aim is to blog at least once a week, a commitment I’ve been neglecting of late. I am in a period of restructure. I am restructuring my timetable, my habits, my priorities, my social life and my mind. That’s basically my whole life come to think of it. I have 5 months to hand in the manuscript of my book. This sounds like a long time but I know it isn’t, because I’ve been writing my book. For 5 years. Yes, granted – that wasn’t full time – but still, there’s no room for complacency. This is my dream project, and I don’t think I have ever cared about something work-related this much before. That’s not to say that I haven’t cared, only that this is very, very important, you get me? Everything else will need to stay on the backburner for the time being. Happily, cooking is a big part of my dream project. Also, I have to eat and keep my energy levels up. Flapjacks are always good at times like these.
This is because oats release energy slowly, as do sesame seeds. As usual, I avoided sugar and used good quality honey instead. I also substituted some of the butter for coconut oil. It made them more crumbly, but this was not a problem for me.
