Malteser Bunny Flapjack Recipe!

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

1. 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
2. Mix the oats, cocoa powder, plain flour, and cornflour in a large bowl
3. Melt the butter, sugar, and syrup in a saucepan over low heat until everything is combines
4. Pour the butter mix into the dry ingredients and stir it all together. Empty into your lined tin and press it down evenly.
5. Bake for 20 minutes. They might not look done but you’ve gotta trust the process… they’ll firm up as they cool!
6. Once cooled, melt the milk chocolate and chocolate spread together (I use the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds), then pour it over the flapjacks
7. 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
8. 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!
