Another thing that I love about this easy flapjacks recipe is that it doesnโt require any fancy baking equipment.
All youโll need is an 8 ร 10 inch baking dish- to bake the flapjacks and a non-stick saucepan/frying pan to combine all the ingredients
Golden Syrup
It wouldnโt be a flapjack recipe without the unique sweetness that golden syrup provides. You can try substitutes either Maple syrup or honey, but to make the best flapjack recipe I’d stick with the golden syrup!
Salted Butter
I love the use of salted butter here โ it doesnโt make the flapjacks salty, it just creates a nice balance and also allows you to taste the flavour of the golden syrup, brown sugar and ginger more. As they say, salt makes the flavours sing.
Rolled Oats
We use whole rolled oats here, weโre not going to throw them in the food processor, as I love the texture of the oats unblended.
