5 Flapjack Recipes you Absolutely Have to Try

From classic flapjacks that evoke a sense of nostalgia to more creative flapjack recipes, read on to discover flapjack tips and tricks and simple recipes you can try at home.

Why Are Flapjacks the Ultimate Treat? 

The humble flapjack. With that delightful mix of oats, butter, sugar, and golden syrup — how can anyone resist? They’re perfect for any time of day, be it breakfast, a midday munch, or a dessert. Plus, with endless ways to jazz them up, they cater to everyone’s taste buds.

And their charm doesn’t end there! Planning a hike or a camping trip? Or maybe just looking for a treat to surprise your kids in their lunchboxes? Flapjacks are the perfect snack for any occasion.

What’s the secret to a good flapjack? 

So, what’s the key to achieving delicious flapjacks? Without a doubt, it’s Lyle’s Golden Syrup. This liquid gold has been lending its magical touch to bakes for generations, and flapjacks are its crowning glory.

But there’s more to tasty flapjacks than syrup alone. Here are some more tips to help you make the perfect flapjacks:

1

Don’t underestimate the power of baking paper. Lining your tin with baking paper makes it easier to remove the flapjacks, they’ll slide right out of the tin!

2

Rolled oats are your best friend when it comes to flapjacks. They are the best type of oats to help you achieve a chewy yet substantial texture.

3

Cooking time is a balancing act; you don’t want flapjacks that are too dry (overcooked) or too soggy (undercooked). Use the directions in your recipe, but perfectly cooked flapjacks should be golden-brown on top with a soft and chewy middle.

4

Give your flapjacks some time to cool completely and solidify before you cut into squares, this will help your flapjacks hold their shape.
