Ingredients
- 150 grams Butter
- 75 grams Light brown sugar
- 100 ml Maple syrup
- 250 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch baking tin with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the light brown sugar and maple syrup until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
Step 4
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and thoroughly mix until all of the oats are evenly coated with the butter mixture.
Step 5
Transfer the oat mixture into the prepared baking tin. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to press it down firmly and evenly.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Be careful not to overbake, as the flapjacks will firm up as they cool.
Step 7
Remove the baking tin from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool completely in the tin.
Step 8
Once cooled, lift the flapjacks out of the tin using the parchment paper and cut them into 12 equal squares or bars.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
