Flapjacks are a delicious treat that has stood the test of time. They’re perfect for a quick snack, an energy booster, or a tasty indulgence to curb your sweet cravings. This classic honey flapjack recipe is easy to make and relies on one of nature’s most delightful ingredients – honey.

Ingredients:

– 250g rolled oats

– 125g unsalted butter

– 125g brown sugar

– 3 tablespoons honey

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20cm x 20cm (8-inch x 8-inch) square baking tin with parchment paper.

2. In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter together with the brown sugar and honey. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

3. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and add the rolled oats to the butter mixture. Mix well, ensuring all the oats are evenly coated with the liquid.

4. Transfer the flapjack mixture to your prepared baking tin, using a spatula or back of a spoon to press it down evenly into the tin’s corners. It should be compact and level to ensure it bakes evenly.

5. Place the baking tin in your preheated oven for approximately 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

6. Remove from the oven and let it cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before carefully lifting out by using parchment paper’s edges as handles.

7. Allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting it into squares or slices of your desired size.

8. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.

Variations:

You can add some extra flavor and texture to your classic honey flapjacks by incorporating some additional ingredients like:

2. Nuts like almonds, walnuts, or chopped hazelnuts.

3. Seeds such as sunflower, pumpkin, or chia seeds.

4. A touch of spice by adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or ground ginger.

You can either mix these ingredients directly into the oat mixture before pressing it into your baking tin or sprinkle them as a topping before putting it in the oven.
