Cinnamon Flapjacks
Description
Cinnamon Flapjacks combine rolled oats with melted butter, golden syrup, and light brown sugar, resulting in a chewy baked oat bar. The addition of ground cinnamon and fresh ginger introduces aromatic and spicy notes. After melting the butter and dissolving sugars, the oats and spices are stirred in, ensuring even coating. Baking at a moderate temperature produces golden edges and a tender center, with the middle intentionally kept a bit soft.
The texture is soft and chewy yet holds together when cooled completely, making these easy to slice into bars. The balance of sweetness from the syrups and the warmth from cinnamon and ginger creates a distinctive flavor profile.
Cooling flapjacks fully before cutting is essential to keep their shape intact. Butter should be melted gently to avoid splitting, which doesn’t impact taste or texture significantly. For a gluten-free version, certified gluten-free oats should be used, and a pinch of salt can enhance flavor, though it may be omitted for children.
Ingredients
- 160 g butter
- 110 g golden syrup
- 110 g light brown sugar
- 330 g rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ginger fresh
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 170°C/150°C(fan)/325°F/Gas 3 and line a 27x20cm baking tray with baking paper.
- In a large sauce pan, melt 160 g Butter over a low heat.
- Add 110 g Light brown sugar and 110 g Golden syrup and once it has dissolved into the butter, remove from the heat.
- Stir in 330 g Rolled oats, 1 teaspoon Cinnamon and 0.5 teaspoon Fresh ginger. Taste to see if it has enough cinnamon/ginger in it for you. If not, add more to taste. Mix well so all the oats are covered.
- Pour the mixture into your baking tray and put in the oven for 20 minutes. The middle should still be a little soft, but the edges will have started to brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely. Then remove them from the tin and cut into slices.
Notes
- Melt butter gently to prevent splitting; this won’t affect final texture or flavor.
- Let flapjacks cool fully before slicing to maintain shape and firmness.
- Use certified gluten-free oats for a gluten-free option.
- A pinch of salt can boost flavor but may be omitted for children's tastes.
