Easy 5 ingredient peanut butter flapjacks ready in under 30 minutes. These vegan flapjacks are salty-sweet thanks to the peanut butter and crunchy demerara sugar, syrupy, and oh so moreish. Perfect for after-school snacks, lunchboxes, as well as grab and go breakfasts.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160 fan/ 350F/ Gas 4) and line a 20 x 30cm baking tin with baking paper.
In a large pan melt together the peanut butter, sugar and syrup on a low heat.
Take the pan off the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and oats.
Press the oat mixture into the prepared baking tin and bake for 18-20 minutes. Remember, your flapjacks will still be soft to the touch when you take them out of the oven, but will harden up on cooling.
Allow to cool before cutting into bars.

Notes
Variations:
Add 100g of milk chocolate chips for a peanut butter chocolate chip flapjack. After you've stirred in the oats, wait for a few minutes before adding the chocolate chips to make sure they don't melt completely.
Make them fruity by adding 100g dried fruit, such as raisins, chopped dried apricots or dried cranberries.
Chopped nuts would make a delicious nutty variation. 100g of chopped pecan nuts or walnuts would work well.
I've used smooth peanut butter in these flapjacks, but crunchy peanut butter would give the flapjacks a lovely texture.
