Dandelion 'Honey', Marigold Mango Flapjacks
A little while back I mentioned that a work colleague gave me not one not two but three jars of her homemade golden Dandelion Honey which also happened to be accidentally vegan.
I have been loving the stuff and using it in place of bee honey and golden syrup. I've had it stirred simply in some herbal fruit teas as a sweetener, used some to mustard glaze some vegetables and here in these Mango, Marigold and Dandelion Flapjacks that I made a while back
These Mango, Marigold and Dandelion Honey Flapjacks were made for breakfast. I am terrible for eating breakfast in the morning, especially on a working day, so these suit me fine with a cup of coffee when I turn on the works computer to check e mails and such.
I have used dried mango pieces in these flapjacks, but you can use any other dried fruit, but to keep it in the yellow fruit theme - golden raisins, apricots, peaches.
I have also made a fresh cranberry version, but did not get round to getting a picture of it, which is a shame as I loved how the fresh cranberries had burst and splattered into the oats.
If you wondering about the recipe, well I tweaked my Turmeric Flapjack recipe just a little. I omitted the turmeric and substituted the golden syrup with the Dandelion 'honey'. I am sharing this with Tea Time Treats and also Treat Petite.
They look and sound delicious! And I love the new banner
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. My husband encourages me to change my blog header every year, so i do to keep the blog fresh. thank you for noticing.
DeleteI made some chamomile honey because you posted about your dandelion honey earlier...it is SO good...and this spring I'm going to try it again with dandelions...
ReplyDelete~Have a lovely day!
Oh Teresa, I am so pleased.
DeleteI haven't made any of my own yet, but both the dandelion honey and the daisy honey that i have shared have been gifted to me by friends, so pleased you were inspired to make your own with chamomile flower. Wonderful.
I was the same about breakfast when working, as I often left really early and just had a coffee on the train. These would have been perfect to accompany it and I would now enjoy them as an any time snack!
ReplyDeleteThank you somuch Kari. they do say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but i only have a proper breakfast at the w/e when i have more time on my hands. Many people in the office have cereal at their desk, I don't like doing that -+ but am guilty of eating my pasta salad at my desk as we have no canteena space.
