Ingredients

6 total
  • 175 g of light muscovado sugar
  • 350 g of unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp of golden syrup
  • 175 g of light soft brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons of green and black's cocoa powder
  • 450 g of rolled or porridge oats

Method

5 steps
  1. Step 1

    Butter the baking tray.

  2. Step 2

    Melt the butter, syrup and both sugars in the saucepan. Do not allow them to bubble. Mix in the oats and the cocoa.

  3. Step 3

    Use a fork to press the mixture into the baking tray and bake for 18-20 minutes. The flapjack needs to cook to the centre but you don't want them to bubble, otherwise they will be too toffee-like. They should stay moist.

  4. Step 4

    Remove from the oven and leave to cool for about 20 minutes before slicing up. Leave to cool completely before removing from the tray.

  5. Step 5

    Hint: these flapjacks are delicious with 2 tablespoons of dessicated coconut, or a handful of sultanas added with the oats. Equally tasty is 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, but you will also need a handful of extra oats because the seeds will make the flapjacks oily.
