Ingredients
- 150 g unsalted butter
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 4 tbsp golden syrup
- 250 g rolled oats
- 100 g mixed nuts (e.g., almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts)
- 50 g dried cranberries (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch of salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8in x 8in) square baking tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, light brown sugar, and golden syrup over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Finely chop the mixed nuts and add them to a large mixing bowl along with the rolled oats and dried cranberries (if using). Mix well.
Step 5
Pour the melted butter mixture over the oat and nut mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Step 6
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking tin using the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center may still look slightly soft; it will firm up as it cools.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool completely in the tin before lifting them out using the parchment paper.
Step 9
Cut into 12 equal bars or squares and store in an airtight container for up to a week.
