can i use porridge oats instead of rolled oats when making flapjacks?

Answer 1

Yes, They are larger flakes and moister but otherwise little difference. The only problem you can experience is they don't mix as evenly so you can get clumps of uncooked flakes. So, put them in a warm oven first to draw off some of the moisture, then smash them up a little.

Put the butter, sugar and honey in a saucepan and heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Add the oats and nuts, fruit, ginger or coconut, if using, and mix well. 2. Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared cake tin and spread to about 2cm (¾in) thick. Smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C/350F/Gas 4 for 15-20 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges, but still slightly soft in the middle. Let cool in the tin, then turn out and cut into squares.
