Ingredients

  • 150 g Unsalted butter
  • 120 g Soft light brown sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons Golden syrup
  • 300 g Oats

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180℃ (or 160℃ for fan ovens) and line an 8x8 tin with baking paper.
  • Melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup over low heat on the stove. When the sugar has dissolved, remove it from the heat and let it cool for a minute or two.
  • Add the oats to a large bowl then pour in the wet mixture. Mix well until the oats are evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into your tin and bake for around 20 minutes. The flapjacks should be golden at the edges and a bit wobbly in the middle. They will firm up as they cool.
  • Leave the flapjack to cool at room temperature for about 3 hours, then cut into slices and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
