Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Rolled oats
- 125 g Unsalted butter
- 100 g Golden syrup
- 100 g Light brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line an 8-inch square baking tin with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, golden syrup, and light brown sugar together, stirring frequently to combine.
Once the mixture has fully melted and is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the melted mixture over the rolled oats, and use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix thoroughly until all the oats are evenly coated.
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking tin and press it down firmly using the back of a spoon or the base of a measuring cup to create an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the flapjack turns golden brown around the edges.
Remove the tin from the oven and allow the flapjack to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before cutting it into squares or bars while still warm.
Allow the flapjack to cool completely in the tin before lifting it out with the parchment paper and serving.
