Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Gluten-free rolled oats
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Golden syrup
- 90 grams Light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a 9x9 inch square baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the unsalted butter, golden syrup, and light brown sugar. Stir occasionally until the butter has completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the salt and vanilla extract.
Add the gluten-free rolled oats to the saucepan and mix until the oats are fully coated with the syrup mixture.
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the flapjacks to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove them from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, cut the flapjacks into 12 equal squares or bars and serve.
