Ingredients
- For The Flapjacks
220 g porridge oats
140 g unsalted butter
125 g light brown soft sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
- For The Chocolate Topping
150 g dark chocolate
Directions
- First, weigh out the oats into a large mixing bowl.
- Put the butter, sugar and syrup into a heavy based saucepan and warm over a gentle heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat.
- Once this has melted , mix well with the oats and add any of your chosen extras at this point if using them.
- Pour the whole mixture into the baking tin and level it out, pressing down flat with a spatula.
- Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Once baked leave to cool completely.
- Chop up your chocolate and melt using a microwave. Stop it every 20 seconds and give the chocolate a quick stir. Repeat this process until the chocolate is melted. By checking, you ensure you are not burning it.
- Pour the chocolate over the flapjack base and leave to cool and harden.
- Once firm, cut into portions and enjoy.
