Blueberry And Fig Flapjacks Recipes

MADE FROM SCRATCH BLUEBERRY FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add milk and egg. Whisk batter until combined. Fold in blueberries and chia seeds gently.
• Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Grease the pan lightly with cooking spray. Pour 1/4 cup batter into the hot pan; cook until edges look dry and bubbles on top begin to pop, about 2 minutes. Flip and continue to cook for 1 minute.

BLUEBERRY AND FIG FLAPJACKS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400°F/Gas 6. Line a 30cm x 15cm baking tin with parchment.
• In a large bowl mix the oats and ground almonds. Finely chop the dried figs into bite size pieces (for small mouths!), and add in. Add the blueberries and stir around.
• Gently melt the butter in a small pan over a low heat with the maple syrup and pour over the oat mixture, then stir to coat.
• Tip the mixture into the prepared tin, press down firmly and bake for approximately 20 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly in the tin, then cut up into about 15 square flapjacks.

BLUEBERRY & MACADAMIA FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease and line the base of a 20cm square baking tin with baking parchment so that there is a slight overhang - this will make it easier to remove the flapjacks.
• Put the butter, sugar, golden syrup and a pinch of salt in a pan, and gently melt over a low heat. Combine the oats, nuts, lemon zest and flour in a large bowl and pour over the melted sugary butter. Mix well, then fold in the blueberries. Tip the oat mixture into the lined tin and press to an even layer using the back of a metal spoon. Bake for 40-45 mins until golden brown. Leave in the tin to cool completely.
• Lift the cooled flapjack onto a board. Put the white chocolate in a small bowl and melt in the microwave in 15-sec blasts, or over a pan of barely simmering water. Drizzle the melted chocolate back and forth over the flapjack. Leave to cool until set before cutting into squares.

BLUEBERRY-FIG JAM

Steps:

• Mash blueberries with a fork in a small bowl. Transfer to a 3 1/2-quart pot. Add figs, sugar, water, lime juice, and balsamic vinegar. Lightly pulse with an immersion blender until mostly smooth, with some chunks remaining for texture.
• Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat. Stir continuously as it comes to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and stir periodically, until thickened, 20 to 25 minutes. Check doneness by dropping a small spoonful of jam onto a frozen plate. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes; if jam appears to gel, it is ready. Continue cooking if jam appears thin and runny.
• When jam has thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Pour jam into a clean jar with a hermetic seal. Allow to cool completely before refrigerating.

RUSTIC BLUEBERRY AND FIG CROSTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll pie crust out on a floured work surface to about 10 inches. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Combine blueberries, flour, sugar, tarragon, lemon zest and juice, and almond extract in a medium bowl. Mix well.
• Spoon blueberry mixture into the center of the pie crust, leaving about a 2-inch border. Place fig slices in the center in a circular pattern. Fold crust up all around the edge of the blueberries, crimping and pinching to create pleats.
• Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl. Brush edges of crust with mixture and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is crispy and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool and set, 15 to 30 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FRUITY FIGGY FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Line a 20cm square tin with baking parchment. Put the figs in a small pan with 150ml water and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half. Transfer to a food processor and whizz to a paste.
• Melt the coconut oil and syrup together over a low heat, then stir through the fig paste. Put the oats, dried fruit and nuts in a bowl and mix well, then pour over the wet mixture and stir until combined. Scrape into the tin and bake for 25-30 mins. Leave to cool before cutting into pieces.

FIG FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven 180C/350F/Gas 4.
• Prepare a tin (what size or what kind of preparation isn't detailed in the instructions) I used an 8" square baking dish, with foil, but no lubrication - based on previous oily flapjack experiences.
• In a pan, combine the butter, sugar, syrup and orange zest (and/or spices) over a medium heat, stirring until the butter has melted.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the oats and figs.
• Tip into the prepared tin, pressing firmly down.
• Bake for 40 minutes until deep golden and bubbling around the edges. The mixture will still be fairly soft in the centre, but will firm up when cooling.
• Leave in the tin until completely cold. Turn out onto a board and cut into 16 squares.

BLUEBERRY BUTTERMILK FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, 1 tablespoon butter, and 2 tablespoons oil; whisk into flour mixture. Fold in blueberries. Set batter aside.
• Heat 1/2 teaspoon butter and remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in 1/3 cup batter. Cook until small bubbles form, about 3 minutes. Flip; cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter, adding butter as needed. Serve with butter and syrup; garnish with berries.
