Since posting a recipe on the site for microwave flapjacks, we have had a very mixed response: ‘In the microwave, are you sure?’. 

I urged you all just to give them a try and little by little positive feedback began to grace my Twitter feed and inbox. But just a few days ago, we received some really good news – The TWC microwave flapjacks are now officially ‘Award Winning’.

Matt Parker registered for the RideLondon100 to raise money for Leuka. Throughout his training he has been baking up Total Women’s Cycling super-quick microwave flapjacks for his long rides and his wife loves them! So when their son’s school announced a summer bake off, they thought they should enter their new favourite treat.

So Matt and his five year old son Benjamin knocked up a batch and lo and behold they won first place in the Tastiest Cake/Cookie category at the St. Pauls & Alexandra Summer Bake Off.

So what are you waiting for, get your oats out, plug in the microwave and get baking the tastiest flapjacks that will ever cross your lips!
