🍯 Nigella Rhubarb Flapjacks Ingredients

• 25g golden caster sugar

🧇 How To Make Nigella Rhubarb Flapjacks

1. Pick the rhubarb first. Slice the stems into 1 cm pieces and place them in a broad saucepan with the orange juice, zest, honey, and cut ends.
2. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the rhubarb reaches a slight tenderness around the edges. Be careful not to stir the mixture too vigorously, since it could cause the chunks to crumble. Take it off the heat and put it aside.
3. In a separate saucepan, combine the sugars, honey, and butter and melt over low heat. Don’t be concerned if the demerara doesn’t completely dissolve.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, salt, and ginger. Add the sugar and melted butter to the bowl and swirl to incorporate.
5. Spread half of the flapjack mixture evenly over the bottom of a small roasting tray (about 30×20 cm) lined with baking paper or silicone.
6. Evenly distribute the rhubarb pieces on top, and then scatter the remaining oats over the top, pressing down with a spatula to keep it compact and even.
7. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes at 180°C, or until lightly brown. Slice and serve after it has cooled.
