EASY FLAPJACK RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180c conventional oven
• Grease and line the base and sides of an 8 inch square loose bottomed baking tin with baking parchment. The baking parchment is essential as it makes it easier to lift the flapjacks out of the tin once they have cooled.
• If you don't have an 8 inch square tin, use one of a similar volume in size eg 8 x 8 = 64 square inches. I was never good at maths, so I hope you get the idea.
• Melt the butter, sugar, and syrup in a large pan over a very gentle heat until all the sugar and butter have melted. DO NOT BOIL THE MIXTURE. This is most likely the reason why some flapjacks turn out hard and difficult to eat.
• Add the flour, salt, and oats. Mix thoroughly until everything is covered in the syrup mixture. It helps to give the dry ingredients a little mix before adding to the syrup.
• Spread the mixture evenly and firmly into the prepared tin. The mixture is a little runny, but you will still need to press the mixture down firmly as this will help prevent the flapjacks from falling apart after baking.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 25 - 30 minutes or until baked and golden brown in colour.
• Remove from the oven. Leave to cool a little before partially slicing the top into bars. DO NOT CUT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. You need the flapjacks to set and cool completely before doing that.
• The mixture will still be hot and very sticky, so take care, especially when baking with children.
• Now that the flapjacks have cooled completely, you can complete to process of slicing them into bars. They will feel soft and chewy. And should not fall apart.
• Keep in an airtight container with a sheet of baking parchment wrapped around them, to help keep them moist and chewy.

EASY VEGAN FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180˚c (fan oven).
• Place the 125g vegan butter, 90g caster sugar and 90g of golden syrup into a food processor and blitz until the butter is evenly creamed with the sugars.
• Tip in the 250g oats and pulse until the oats have combined with butter. (if using jumbo oats, pulse a little longer until the oats are crumbly and reduced in size.)
• Lightly grease a 20 x 20cm baking tin and tip in the flapjack dough. Press the mixture down gently so it evenly covers the tin. Place into the oven and bake for 13 - 15 minutes until golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool for at least 30 minutes before eating. They will be very soft at first but will harden into a wonderful stodgy texture as they cool. Cut the tray into 8 - 12 squares once cooled.

• Next, spoon the mixture into the baking tin. For crunchy flapjacks, choose a shallow baking tray and turn the oven up but I would say go for chewy version first! Make sure to smooth the top before baking for another 25-30 minutes.
• Let it cool for a few minutes and then mark it into 16 squares.
• Once it's completely cold, cut through those marks completely and take them out of the tin
• That's it! Our chewy flapjacks are ready to be served :) If you are a huge chocolate fan, pour some melted dark chocolate on the cooked flapjacks. Letting it sit for a while before eating!
