    No bake cranberry flapjacks stacked in a line on a black square slate.

    These no bake cranberry flapjacks make great little portable snacks.

    When I'm hillwalking I'll have a few of these in my pocket.

    They can often give a much needed quick energy boost!

    Only my other half got to try these bakes initially.

    Each batch I made, as I was testing and writing the recipe, was eagerly awaited.

    It was only last weekend that somebody else, my other half's best friend, was allowed to have one!

    That was only when my other half let her!

    If you're looking for a healthy flapjack then why not try out my easy healthier flapjacks recipe?

      YUM! I haven't seen a recipe using Golden Syrup in forever! Are you referring to Lyle's Golden Syrup? If so, Neil, I used to drink that stuff when I was a kid - like some people drank water! That's some amazing stuff! Love the oats/almond/golden syrup in these bars - I agree with Lynne - some bars are not for sharing 😉

        Yep, I sure am referring to that golden deliciousness, Lyle's Golden Syrup Shashi! 😀

        It doesn't come out very often, but I can understand why you drank it like water as a kid 😆

        It really is excellent stuff isn't it? I think Lynne hid a lot of it too, for secret snacks 😉

        Hi Yasmine, unfortunately I don't recommend fresh cranberries for this recipe, it'll make the mixture too moist and will probably fall apart.
