Spoon half of the mix into the tin and level off.
Spread the mincemeat over the flapjack.

If you want to add flavours, nuts or other dried fruit then mix them in with the oats in the recipe.
As they stay soft you can make them ahead of time.
They are easy to freeze and defrost when you want a slice or two.
