Method

  • step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C and generously butter a 28 x 18cm shallow baking tin. Melt the butter, sugar and syrup over a medium heat, stirring all the time. Take off the heat and stir in the oats, walnuts and orange zest. The mixture should be quite soft.

  • step 2

    Tip the mixture into the baking tin and level it off. Bake for around 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centre is still a little soft. Remove from the oven and mark into 12 pieces while it is still warm, cutting down halfway through the mixture with a sharp knife. Leave to cool.

  • step 3

    Heat the marmalade with 1 tbsp water until it becomes syrupy. Brush this glaze over the flapjack mixture and leave to cool before cutting into 12 pieces. They will keep in an airtight tin for up to a week.

Made this, but halved the amount of sugar and syrup, and doubled the amount of walnuts, as 50g seemed very low. I also used salted butter and I didn't use any marmalade, as I didn't have any, but if I did, I would mix it in. The result tasted healthy and wasn't crumbly, and easy to cut. I used a…

After looking at the comments below, I reduced the sugar by 1/3, replaced 50g of the golden syrup with treacle, used 100g sultanas instead of walnuts and mixed the marmelade in with the golden syrup (just two tablespoons of a cheap jar) rather than use it as a glaze because I didn't want them to be…

batch 2: halved the sugar, 75g treacle and 100g golden syrup, two large tablespoons of cheap marmelade. Delicious! Careful not to leave too long in oven- removed at about 28mins but 25 probably would have been fine.
