Notes

If you don’t have golden syrup, try making my Homemade Golden Syrup.
Make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats and not quick-cooking oats . Learn more about Baking With Oats.
When done baking, the flapjacks should be slightly soft in the middle (but not too soft.)
If you want something a little more complex, try adding 1 cup (5 oz/142 g) of diced dried fruit or nuts or 1 cup (6 oz/170 g) of semi-sweet or white chocolate chips.
