Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the oats, butter, sugar and golden syrup in a food processor and pulse until mixed – be careful not to overmix or the oats may lose their texture.

  • step 2

    Lightly butter a 20 x 20cm baking tin and add the mixture. Press into the corners with the back of a spoon so the mixture is flat and score into 12 squares. Bake for around 15 mins until golden brown.

As others have said , not good , sugar doesnt dissolve in cooking so tastes gritty , melt ingredients first , but dont boil ,unless you want toffee !

Amazing flap jacks mixed by hand flap jacks were just the right consistency of gooey. Layered chocolate on top for extra naughtiness.

I found after cooking that the flapjacks didn't hold together. They were dry and a bit tasteless. I didn't put anything like choc-drops in them.

Melted the butter with the golden syrup and sugar. Added some ground ginger. Cooked for 2 minutes less than suggested. Tasted lovely and not too hard.

Had to throw them away, jumbo porridge oats are too course to stick together, not enough butter and syrup to make them sticky. Awful recipe

Melted butter sugar golden syrup before adding oats and added sultanas too! My son said they were better than shop bought flapjacks. Turned out lovely 😁
