I love Flapjacks but I don't like dried fruit, so I was trying to come up with a way to make just normal flapjacks using this recipe as a basis.
Can anyone tell me if the following calculations are correct? I've done it over and over to check and am starting to confuse myself!
3 olive oil (3 HexB or 18 Syns)
120g porridge oats (4 HexB or 24 Syns)
2 tablespoons honey (5 Syns)
1-2 tablespoon(s) Sweetener (Free)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (Free)
half teaspoon salt (Free)
47 Syns = 5 Syns per Flapjack if making 10
However, I've seen someone say they made them successfully without oil so I thought if I used only 1TBSP of Oil, the whole recipe would be 35 Syns (47 - 12 = 35) which means 3.5 Syns per Flapjack. Would this mean that 2 would be a HexB + 1 Syn (as the recipe contains 5HexB and 5 Syns)?
I apologise in advance for my long-winded calculations! If anyone can make sense of it and let me know if I'm right I'd be so grateful! Thanks.

Yeah you could do that
You'd need to use Extra virgin though. Provided you do that all the synned ingredients except the honey are HEXB options, so you could have up to 6 syns worth as a HEXB and just syn the relevant amount of honey, as you say. Sounds fab! You now get 35g of porridge oats as a HEXB though, so this recipe actually only contains 3.5 HEXBs of porridge if you only use 120g. Use 140g and get your money's worth
Sounds great, let us know how it tastes!

Thanks so much. Will do. Shall have to pop out and get some porridge oats at some point this week. Don't like porridge so don't normally have them in!

Made these yesterday without the fruit. Turned out ok, but I couldn't get ten out of it unless they were tiny!

No you wouldn't, you need the fruit to bulk it out

That's what I thought. Oh well, they were nice anyway, just means I'll have to syn them a little higher!

Would using golden syrup instead of honey work the same! Really want to make some NOW but don't have honey?!?!! X
