- Preheat your oven to 160°C.
Melt Butter Mixture:
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter, syrup, and brown sugar slowly over low heat. Stir gently until the mixture is well combined.
Incorporate Oats:
- Once melted, take the saucepan off the heat, and gradually mix the oats into the butter mixture until they are fully absorbed, creating a thick, sticky consistency.
Prepare Baking Dish:
- Line an 8″ square baking dish with silicone paper, ensuring that it covers the bottom and sides to prevent sticking.
Spread Mixture:
- Spread the oat mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Bake:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the flapjacks turn golden brown and firm to the touch.
Mark Portions:
- While still hot, use a knife or spatula to mark out the portions, but do not cut all the way through. This will make it easier to cut later.
Cool:
- Allow the flapjacks to cool in the dish for a few minutes before removing them. Once slightly cooled, carefully cut along the marked lines to separate the individual portions.
Serve:
- Once completely cooled, re-mark the portions if necessary and serve your delicious flapjacks.

Customization: This recipe is highly adaptable. You can incorporate cooked apples, dates, figs, dried apricots, or chocolate chips into the mixture for added flavor and texture.
Storage: Store any leftover flapjacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer preservation.

Enjoy these delightful flapjacks as a tasty snack or a wholesome breakfast option! 🌟
