Flapjack is a very popular gooey bar. It is made by combining oats with butter, Golden Syrup and often raisins. Golden Syrup is caramel-coloured sugar syrup and can be found in various supermarkets, but it can also be prepared at home or replaced with glucose syrup.

Once baked, this bar can be stored for quite some time. Keep it in an air-tight container and store it in a cool and dry place.

Try different variation by adding dried fruit, nuts or chocolate and take the flapjack with you for an easy and quick snack on the go.
