Best Flapjack Recipe

Created by dienia b on July 3, 2015

225 grams dried dates (maybe also try prunes, apricots or whatever you have in)
175 grams butter (or dairy free margarine)
3 tablespoon golden syrup (honey is also nice, tastes less sweet and more 'wholesome')

Step 1: Preheat to Gas 375/190/Fan 170/Gas 5. Grease an 8" square baking tin.
Step 2: Heat the dates or other fruit in a pan with a splash of water for a few minutes. When they are soft, mash with the back of a fork till all squidged & gooey.
Step 3: In a large saucepan melt the butter, syrup & sugar till liquefied (oooh, never used that word in a sentence before)
Step 4: Stir in the oats and spice and mix till all the oats are coated. I always steal a taste at this point although this it’s not compulsory, just greedy.
Step 5: Spoon half the oat mixture into a greased baking tin, and press down with the back of a spoon or your hand till nice and flat then dollop in the fruity sticky goo and press that down too.
Step 6: Finally top with the second half of the oaty mix and press down again.
Step 7: I have been known to sprinkle more sugar over the top to give a nice crunchy crust but you won’t be disappointed if you skip this step. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes till golden.
Step 8: Take out of the oven and score into squares as big as you like. Turn out onto a cooling rack and when cool break up into the squares and stash.
