Scale
Ingredients
- 225g butter, plus extra for the tin
- 75g caster sugar
- 4 tbsp honey
- 350g porridge oats
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Tin: Heat the oven to 180C (160C fan)/gas mark 4. Butter and line a 30 x 15 cm rectangular baking tin with baking parchment to prevent sticking.
- Melt Butter, Sugar, and Honey: In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter, caster sugar, and honey, stirring frequently until the mixture is smooth and the sugar has dissolved completely.
- Combine with Oats: Place the porridge oats in a large mixing bowl, then pour over the melted butter and honey mixture. Stir well so all the oats are thoroughly coated with the syrupy mixture.
- Transfer to Tin: Tip the oat mixture into the prepared tin. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to evenly press and spread the mixture out flat, ensuring an even thickness.
- Bake: Cook in the preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the flapjacks are lightly golden on top.
- Cool and Cut: Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely in the tin. Once cooled, lift out using the parchment paper and cut into squares for serving.
Notes
- Ensure the butter, sugar, and honey are fully melted and combined for a smooth coating on the oats.
- You can use golden syrup instead of honey for a different flavor variant.
- For chewier flapjacks, bake closer to 10 minutes; for crunchier edges, bake closer to 15 minutes.
- Store flapjacks in an airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
- Adding dried fruits or nuts can enhance the texture and taste if desired.
