Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
- 250 g rolled oats
- 100 g mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts)
- 50 g dried cranberries (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in) square baking tin with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, light brown sugar, and golden syrup over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and well combined.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Finely chop the mixed nuts and add them to a large mixing bowl along with the rolled oats and dried cranberries (if using). Mix well.
Pour the melted butter mixture over the oat and nut mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking tin using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center may still look slightly soft; it will firm up as it cools.
Remove from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool completely in the tin before lifting them out using the parchment paper.
Cut into 12 equal bars or squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
