Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C for fan ovens, gas mark 4). Grease and line a baking tin with parchment paper.
In a large frying pan, combine butter, golden syrup, and light brown sugar. Melt the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until fully melted and smooth.
225 Grams Butter, 100 Grams Light brown sugar, 200 Grams Golden syrup
In a large bowl, add the oats. Pour the melted butter, syrup, and sugar mixture over the oats. Stir until the oats are evenly coated and the mixture looks wet and sticky.
300 Grams Porridge oats
Pour the oat mixture into the lined baking tin, spreading it evenly into all four corners.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Once baked, let the flapjacks cool in the tin to allow them to harden.
Once completely cooled, cut the flapjacks into squares, rectangles, or your desired shape.
Notes
Tips and Tricks
Even Coating: Ensure the oats are thoroughly mixed with the melted mixture for consistent flavor and texture.
Cooling Time: Allowing the flapjacks to cool completely in the tin helps them to set properly and makes cutting easier.
Customization: Add dried fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips to the oat mixture for extra flavor and texture.
Storage: Store flapjacks in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy for longer.
