These flapjacks are honestly so damn good—soft, buttery, and super thick. I’ve been working on creating the perfect flapjacks (or at least, my idea of the perfect flapjack) for a while now, and I am buzzing to share this recipe with you…
If you like your flapjacks moist, chocolatey, and buttery soft, this one’s for you.
Fair warning though… these are not a health food. If you're after a low-sugar, high-protein, oat-based energy bar… you might want to keep searching. This recipe is pure indulgence, and I make no apology for that
BONUS: they’re ridiculously easy to make, and a great easter activity to do with the kids if you don’t mind a bit of chaos and melted chocolate everywhere
INGREDIENTS
Flapjacks:
- 425g butter
- 125g golden syrup
- 350g soft light brown sugar
- 425g jumbo oats
- 50g cocoa powder
- 100g plain flour
- 2 tbsp cornflour
Topping:
- 250g milk chocolate
- 150g milk chocolate spread
- Mini Malteser bunnies
- 50g crushed Maltesers
METHOD
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and grease/line a 9” square tin. You can use a bigger one if you want them less chunky
- Mix the oats, cocoa powder, plain flour, and cornflour in a large bowl
- Melt the butter, sugar, and syrup in a saucepan over low heat until everything is combines
- Pour the butter mix into the dry ingredients and stir it all together. Empty into your lined tin and press it down evenly.
- Bake for 20 minutes. They might not look done but you’ve gotta trust the process… they’ll firm up as they cool!
- Once cooled, melt the milk chocolate and chocolate spread together (I use the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds), then pour it over the flapjacks
- Decorate with Malteser bunnies and crushed Maltesers, then leave to set at room temp. I like to give it 15 mins in the fridge at the end to help it firm up just enough for a clean slice, but don’t leave it in too long, you still want them soft and crumbly
- I love seeing you guys recreate my recipes, do tag me if you make these!
NOTES
I get 9 flapjacks out of a 9x9” tray as I like them BIG, but you can absolutely chop them into more portions or use a larger tray
Store in an airtight container and they should keep for at least a week!
