This is an easy recipe for delicious flapjacks. Stir all the ingredients together in the saucepan before finishing off in the Oven or Air Fryer.
Make them with your favourite spread – and, once cut into bars, they can be frozen for a quick afterschool treat.
If you don’t want to use a sweet, flavoured butter/spread, simply double the amount of unsalted butter in the recipe.
And, if you want to bake these in an Air Fryer – they take about 10 minutes at 160C. You may need to bake in smaller batches depending on what cake tins you have for your machine.
Cut them into small snack size squares for younger children or larger bars for adults.
You will need:
250g Unsalted Butter
100g Soft Brown Sugar – Light or Dark is fine.
250g Sweet Spread – Chocolate/Hazelnut/Peanut Butter/Biscuit Spread
200ml Honey or Golden Syrup
500g Rolled/Porridge Oats
Optional – 100g Dried Fruit/Frozen Fruit (Blueberries or Raspberries would be delicious)
What to do:
Preheat the Oven to 180C (or 160C Fan). Line a brownie tray or 20cm square cake tin with Greaseproof/Baking Paper.
Place the Butter and Sugar in a large saucepan and heat gently – stirring continuously – until the Butter has melted and the Sugar dissolved.
Stir in the Sweet Spread and the Honey (or Golden Syrup, if using) and continue heating gently until the mixture is nice and smooth, then turn off the heat and stir through the Rolled Oats and any additional Fruit.
Carefully pour the mix into the prepared brownie tray and level with a spatula/spoon.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until the edges turn golden. The middle should still be a bit wobbly.
Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the tin. Once cool, you can pop into the fridge for a while to help firm the mix up, before cutting into bars.
