Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams Butter
- 75 grams Light brown sugar
- 100 ml Maple syrup
- 250 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch baking tin with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the light brown sugar and maple syrup until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and thoroughly mix until all of the oats are evenly coated with the butter mixture.
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking tin. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as the flapjacks will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking tin from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool completely in the tin.
Once cooled, lift the flapjacks out of the tin using the parchment paper and cut them into 12 equal squares or bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
