Instructions

Tap a step to mark it done

1. 1 Line the bottom and two sides of an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper. Lightly grease the pan and parchment paper.
2. 2 In a large mixing bowl, stir together the oats, seeds, dried fruit, salt, and cinnamon.
3. 3 In a medium saucepan, heat the butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup over low heat until the butter melts. Stir the syrup mixture with a whisk or a silicone spatula until the brown sugar dissolves and the mixture comes together, about 30 seconds.
4. 4 Pour the butter mixture over the oats. Use a silicone spatula to stir everything together, mixing well to coat all the dry ingredients in the syrup. Spread the oat mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan. Compact the oats bars by pressing down the top with a spatula or the bottom of a glass.
5. 5 Bake the flapjacks until they turn golden brown around the edges and lightly golden in the middle, 25 to 30 minutes.
6. 6 For the cleanest slices, let the flapjacks cool completely, at least 1 to 2 hours, before using the parchment paper to lift them out of the pan. Use a serrated bread knife to slice 9 large or 16 small flapjacks. Store flapjacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Love the recipe? Leave us stars and a comment below!
