British Flapjacks

Chewy, golden British flapjacks loaded with oats, seeds, and dried fruit. These sweet treats are perfect for snacking and incredibly easy to make.

Ingredients

  • Quick-cook rolled oats (250g).
  • Mixed seeds of choice (75g).
  • Dried fruit of choice (75g).
  • Kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon).
  • Ground cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon).
  • Unsalted butter (113g).
  • Brown sugar (107g).
  • Golden syrup (112g).

Instructions

  1. Heat your oven to 350°F. Get an 8×8-inch pan ready by lining it with parchment paper on the bottom and sides. Give both pan and paper a light coating of grease.
  2. Take a large bowl and mix your oats, your chosen seeds, dried fruit, salt, and cinnamon together.
  3. Put butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup in a pot. Warm it up on low heat until butter melts, then stir until sugar dissolves and everything comes together smoothly.
  4. Pour your warm syrup mix over the oat mixture. Stir well making sure all dry ingredients are coated with the syrup.
  5. Spread mixture into your prepared pan. Press down firmly using a spatula or flat-bottomed glass to make it compact.
  6. Pop it in the oven for 25-30 minutes until edges turn golden brown and middle is lightly golden.
  7. Let cool completely for 1-2 hours. Lift out using parchment paper and cut into 9 or 16 pieces with a bread knife.
