These easy British flapjacks are chewy, sweet oat bars baked until golden and drizzled with chocolate. Perfect for teatime, snacks, or lunchboxes, they come together in just 30 minutes with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 225 g (1 cup) butter
  • 150 g (1/2 cup) golden syrup (or honey as a substitute)
  • 150 g (3/4 cup) soft light brown sugar
  • 450 g (5 1/2 cups) oats (rolled oats, jumbo oats, or a mix)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 100 g (2/3 cup) milk chocolate, melted (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 170℃ fan/190℃/Gas Mark 5 (340°F) and line a 20×20 cm baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. In a large pan over low heat, melt the butter, golden syrup, and sugar together until smooth and dissolved.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the oats and salt, mixing well until fully coated.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes, until edges are lightly browned but the center is still soft.
  6. Allow to cool completely before lifting out of the tin and slicing into 16 squares.
  7. Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the top and let it set before serving.

Notes

  • Add dried fruit like raisins or cranberries for extra chewiness.
  • Mix in chopped nuts or seeds for crunch.
  • Use dark chocolate instead of milk for a richer flavor.
  • Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the chocolate for a sweet-salty finish.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for 2 months.
