flapjack recipe

 Here's a classic flapjack recipe:

Yields: About 12 squares

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 175g butter

 * 175g golden syrup

 * 175g light brown soft sugar

 * 350g rolled oats

 * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

 * Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan/Gas Mark 4). Line a 20cm square baking tin with parchment paper.

 * Melt ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, golden syrup, and sugar together. Stir constantly to prevent burning.

 * Combine oats and cinnamon: In a large bowl, combine the oats and cinnamon (if using).

 * Mix wet and dry ingredients: Pour the melted butter mixture over the oats and stir well until all the oats are evenly coated.

 * Press into tin: Press the oat mixture firmly into the prepared tin.

 * Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.

 * Cool and cut: Let the flapjack cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares.

Tips and Variations:

 * For a chewier flapjack, use slightly less golden syrup.

 * Add other flavors like dried fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips to the oat mixture.

 * For a healthier option, use wholemeal oats or add some seeds like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.

 * Store flapjacks in an airtight container for up to a week.
