Accidental Granola

I usually make lovely sugar free flapjacks for the baby using dates and bananas. I had no dates or bananas so thought I would try peanut butter and maple syrup with sultanas (and butter and oats). My main error (I think) was that the mix wasn't wet enough and oats didn't "soak up" enough liquid before cooking.. I was rushing.

End result - over dry flapjacks which fell apart = YUMMY peanut butter and maple granola! 

The second batch of flapjacks (with apple juice introduced) is in the oven... However I can't blog about them as I didn't measure quantities.  I suppose there's a little bit of me hoping they'll fail too...

Quick pizza sauce

Quick to make while your pizza dough is rising...

Sliced red onion. 

Fry gently in olive oil until onions slightly browned and softened. 

Add 1tsp balsamic vinegar, 1tsp sugar and 1tbsp water - stir and heat until bubbling and sugar is dissolved (about 30-60s). 

Add one tin of tomatoes, leave on hob to simmer on a medium heat stirring occasionally until ready to use. Can be blended to make a smoother sauce.
