Ingredients
- 200g rolled oats
- 100g unsalted butter
- 120g honey
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
- Melt the butter and honey: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently melt the butter and honey together, stirring frequently until smooth and combined.
- Combine with oats: Place the rolled oats in a large mixing bowl, then pour the melted butter and honey mixture over the oats. Stir thoroughly until all oats are evenly coated.
- Press into tray: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking tray and press down firmly with the back of a spoon or spatula to create an even layer.
- Bake until golden: Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 to 20 minutes, or until the flapjacks turn a lovely golden brown on top.
- Cool and cut: Remove the tray from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool in the tray for about 10 minutes. While still slightly warm, cut into squares or rectangles, then let cool completely before serving to allow them to set.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt content more precisely.
- For a crunchier texture, bake a few minutes longer but be careful not to burn.
- Add extras like nuts, dried fruit, or seeds for variation.
- Store flapjacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
