Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or 160°C (320°F) fan-forced.
Step 2
Line a 20cm (8 inches) square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring it covers the sides as well for easy removal later.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter, golden syrup, and light brown sugar over low heat, stirring occasionally until everything is well combined and smooth.
Step 4
Remove from the heat and stir in the pinch of salt.
Step 5
Add the rolled oats to the melted butter mixture and stir until the oats are evenly coated with the syrupy mixture.
Step 6
Pour the oat mixture into the prepared baking tin, spreading it evenly and pressing it down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges have turned a golden brown and the surface has a slight crust.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
Lift the flapjack out of the tin using the parchment paper, and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once completely cool, cut into 12 squares or bars and serve.
