Toffee pecan flapjack traybake recipe
The humble flapjack just got a sweet upgrade

This soft and chewy traybake recipe couldn’t be easier, simply mix, bake and enjoy. Cereal adds a sugary crunch, but you could leave it out, if you prefer. Swap the milk chocolate chips for white or dark, if you like.
