Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 35 mins | Extra time: 8 hours, setting
1.
In a large pan, on a low heat, melt butter, sugar and syrup till runny. Mix in the oats really well, making sure none are left uncoated by the butter-sugar mix.
2.
Pour into a 20x30cm tray lined with baking parchment. Level out the mix with a spatula. Bake in a preheated oven at 160 C / Gas 3 for 25-35 minutes. (These should look seriously under-baked, that's the point. When they are done, if you grip the pan and give it a little wobble, it will look uncooked. This is perfect.)
3.
Cover with a clean tea towel and leave for a whole day or overnight till completely cold. If you try and turn them out before, they will be ruined. When they are completely cold, turn them out and cut into squares. Wrapped in cling film or foil these will last a week at least. They freeze well too!

Excellent recipe! Yes, they're sweet, but that's the way we like them! I did 1/3 of the recipe and made them in a square roasting tin (lined). 250g butter (one pack) 150g Golden Syrup 166.66g soft brown sugar 333.33g porridge oats And I added... 100g granola to the oats and 100g chopped dates to the mixture Have also added apricots before now. Easily the best flapjacks. Everyone always wants the recipe!

Sorry for the two stars, but these are a complete sugar overload....way way too sweet. I only did half the quantity but I will struggle to get them eaten.....I also put some (unsweetned) coconut in as the mixture looked a bit too loose....but SWEET just about covers it!!
