Ingredients

225 g Butter See notes
150 g Golden Syrup See notes
150 g Soft light brown sugar See notes
450 g Oats See notes
1 tsp Salt See notes

For the topping:

100 g Milk chocolate Melted

Metric - Imperial

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 170C (340F).
Line a 20x20 cm baking tray with baking parchment.
Melt your butter, sugar and golden syrup in a large pan over a low heat. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat and stir in the oats and salt.
Give the entire mixture a really good stir so that all of the oats are coated.
Pour the mixture into your lined baking tin and pat down with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. (The edges should be starting to brown but the middle should still be soft and wobbly.)
When the flapjack is cold, remove it from the tin and slice your flapjacks into 16 squares with a sharp knife.
Drizzle over the melted chocolate and allow to set.

Notes

Butter: Unsalted or salted is fine, if you use salted, reduce the additional salt in the recipe to 1/2 tsp

Golden Syrup: This gives the lovely sticky texture. You can replace with honey if you prefer but it can be more unpredictable as honey is a natural product where the consistency varies. The flavour can also be quite strong

Sugar: Soft light brown sugar gives a good flavour but caster sugar will work too

Oats: I used a mixture of jumbo whole oats and rolled oats, in this flapjack recipe. You can just use one type though

Salt: I have used 1tsp of salt. You can leave this out if you are cooking for young children, but I do have to say I think it really adds to the recipe and brings out the flavour
