Servings: 16
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
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170℃ fan/190℃/Gas Mark 5 (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
