Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups butter softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 5 ⅓ cups rolled oats
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.
