Hi Ruth,

Interesting!
Once i visited someone who lived adjacent to an old homestead. There was a
century or older fig tree growing in a gully. The branches grew
up, out, and back down to the ground, then up and out again in all
directions. Each branch was the size of a fig tree. It was enormous and it
created its own ecosystem within the fig thicket.

I guess the fat has been removed from this PB powder, but it taste just like
peanut butter. So i doubt you`d like it.

Title: Jack Monroe`s Flapjacks
Categories: Cakes
Yield: 10 servings
4 tb Oil; butter, or margarine;
- plus extra for greasing
7 oz Golden syrup, honey, or
- maple syrup (200 g)
10 1/2 oz Porridge oats (300 g)
1 ts Ground cinnamon or
- mixed spice
2 1/2 oz Sunflower seeds or

1 oz Pumpkin seeds or
- other seeds (30 g)
7 oz Dried apricots or other
- dried fruit (200 g);
- roughly chopped
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hours
Jack Monroe`s flapjack recipe is extremely versatile. You can use
whatever seeds and dried fruit you have. They can also be made vegan
by using oil rather than butter.
Preheat the oven to 210?C / 190?C Fan/Gas 6-1/2. Lightly grease a
deep 20 cm / 8" square cake tin.
If using butter or margarine, melt it in a pan. Add the syrup to the
melted butter or oil. Mix in all the remaining ingredients.
Spoon into the baking tin and flatten with a spoon or spatula.
Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden
and starting to firm at the edges. Remove from the oven and allow to
cool.
Cut into 10 pieces.
