Flapjack
Ingredients
- 340 g Gluten Free Oats
- 160 g Golden Syrup
- 170 g Granulated Sugar
- 170 g Vegan Butter
Instructions
- Put butter, sugar and syrup in a pan. Melt the butter and sugar on a low to medium heat until the sugar granules have dissolved.
- Take pan from the heat and add the oats. Mix well, until the oats are coated in the melted butter mixture.
- Line a 22cm square pan with greaseproof paper.  Pour the mixture into the tray and spread evenly and press firmly with a spatula. Place the tray in the middle shelf of the oven on Gas mark 2 for 35 minutes. For a gooier flapjack, cook for 28 minutes.
- Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Get creative with your add-ins to customize the flavor of your flapjacks. Try adding chopped nuts for crunch, dried fruit for sweetness, chocolate chips for indulgence, or coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
- For a healthier version, you can reduce the amount of butter and sugar or substitute with alternatives such as coconut oil and maple syrup.
- Experiment with different combinations of spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to add warmth and depth of flavor to your flapjacks.
