Equipment

  • Kitchen Scales
  • Saucepan
  • 20 cm (8'') Square Baking Tin

Ingredients

  • 225 g Butter
  • 100 g Demerara Sugar
  • 100 g Light Brown Sugar
  • 5 tablespoon Golden Syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 360 g Oats
  • 125 g Raspberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (160 fan, Gas 4) and line a 20cm (8") Square baking tin with baking paper.
  • In a large saucepan melt together the butter, golden syrup, and sugars over a low heat.
    225 g Butter, 100 g Demerara Sugar, 100 g Light Brown Sugar, 5 tablespoon Golden Syrup
  • Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla extract, oats and raspberries.
    1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 360 g Oats, 125 g Raspberries
  • Press the mixture into a greased and lined 20cm square (8 inch) baking tin.
  • Bake in the oven for 22-25 minutes until golden on top.
  • Immediately score the top of the flapjacks with a sharp knife, then leave them to cool in the tin for at least 1 hour (I often leave them overnight) before cutting them into bars.

Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Grease and line your baking tin with nonstick baking paper (parchment) to ensure the flapjacks don't stick to the sides of the tin.
  • Use a large non-stick heavy-based saucepan to melt the butter, brown sugars, and syrup together. It must be large enough to mix the oats in too.
  • Firmly pack down the flapjack mixture into the tin to ensure the bars stick together and don't crumble when cut.
 
Variations:
  • Add in 50g of chopped pecan nuts for raspberry and pecan flapjacks.
  • Drizzle the top of the flapjacks with dark chocolate or white chocolate and sprinkle with sea salt for extra decadence.
  • Mix in dried fruit such as raisins and chopped apricots for a fruitier flavour.
  • Swap the berries - blackberries and chopped strawberries would also work.
 
Storage:
Store - The flapjacks will keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
Freeze - Freeze the flapjacks for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature before serving.
