Ingredients
  

  • 350 g Oats
  • 175 g Butter or Margarine
  • 175 g Golden Syrup
  • 50 g Demerara Sugar
  • 75 g Mixed Seeds & Dried Fruits

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Next, put 175g of unsalted butter, 175g of golden caster sugar, and 175g of golden syrup into a pan over low heat. (Remember that you can use honey or agave syrup instead of golden syrup if you prefer.)
    175 g Butter or Margarine, 175 g Golden Syrup, 50 g Demerara Sugar
  • Stir the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves and the butter melts. (Be careful not to let it boil or burn.)
  • Once the mixture is smooth, remove the pan from the heat and add 350g of rolled oats. Mix well until the oats are coated evenly.
    350 g Oats
  • Pour the mixture into a baking tin lined with parchment paper, spread it evenly, and press down firmly. (You can use the back of a spoon or your hands to do this.)
  • Bake the flapjacks in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until they turn golden brown. (Do not overcook or they will become hard and dry.)
  • Remove the flapjacks from the oven and let them cool in the tin for at least 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. (Do not attempt to cut them while still hot as they will crumble and break.)
  • Once cooled, cut the flapjacks into squares of your desired size. (I usually opt for 2x2 inch squares.)
