Easy Coconut Flapjacks
Easy Coconut Flapjacks are oat-based bars combining butter, sugar, golden syrup, self-raising flour, and desiccated coconut. Baked until golden brown, they offer a chewy texture with a hint of coconut flavor. Cut into squares while still warm, they’re a convenient snack or dessert option, ideal for serving alone or alongside custard for added richness.
