Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 8 servings

  • ½ cup butter

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup

  • 2 cups rolled oats

  • 5 tablespoons raisins (Optional)

  • 1 (5 ounce) milk chocolate, melted (Optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking pan.

  2. Combine butter, sugar, and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Mix until butter has melted and sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat. Add 2 cups oats and raisins. Mix until oats are well coated. Pour mixture into the prepared pan; flatten down with the back of a spoon.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, 10 to 20 minutes. Let flapjack cool.

  4. Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each interval, 1 to 3 minutes. Pour over the cooled flapjack. Let cool until chocolate is set.

Cook's Notes:

You can substitute raisins with sultanas, if preferred.

Add more golden syrup to the batter if oats are not sufficiently coated.
