Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 280g rolled oats
  • 100g sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 175g butter
  • 175g honey

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a square baking tin with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt Butter, Honey, and Sugar: In a saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter, honey, and sugar together, stirring continuously until fully combined and smooth.
  3. Combine with Oats: Pour the melted mixture over the oats in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure all oats are evenly coated with the butter and honey mixture.
  4. Transfer to Baking Tin: Press the oat mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking tin, smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
  5. Bake the Flapjack: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 20-25 minutes until the flapjack is golden brown and firm to the touch.
  6. Cool and Slice: Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the tin. Once cooled, slice into squares or rectangles as desired.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of dried fruits like raisins or cranberries to the oat mixture before baking.
  • Ensure the flapjacks are completely cooled before slicing to maintain their shape and texture.
  • Store flapjacks in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to a week.
  • Use natural honey for a richer flavor and to avoid processed sugars.
