Chewy, sweet and buttery, flapjacks are easy to make, traditionally made just with oats but here I’ve pimped them up with some cornflakes and raisins. Don’t be confined to cornflakes through, feel free to use crunchy nut cornflakes, rice krispies or go chocolaty and use cocoa pops.

If you don’t have a donut tray then this mixture is very similar to a muffin mix so feel free to use a muffin tray instead. This recipe can be made using any mincemeat of your choice but for an extra treat why not try making our superfood goji and cranberry mincemeat instead.
Homemade muffins are an absolute pleasure to make, the variety at hand is almost endless and once you master the method it becomes so easy, wet ingredients, dry ingredients, mix and bake, simple as that. These muffins came about after testing recipes from Caribbean Modern. Banana, allspice and coconut, classic ingredients of the islands.
Loaf cakes are a very easy way to get your cake fix.
