Crispy on the top and a perfect chewy texture on the bottom.

175g butter
175g light brown sugar
175g golden syrup

  • Merlot these all and stir
Add 350g of oats, 100g dedicated coconut and 75g sultanas

Put in a 30 x 20 cm tray and bake for 40mins at 150 degrees. Cut into 12 pieces when cooled. Die happy.

A very big thank you from me!

Snazzygoldfish · 18/08/2019 13:54

Thanks. I'll give that a go later

SirJamesTalbotAndHisSpeculum · 18/08/2019 13:55

Love the idea of dedicated coconut, OP.

sackrifice · 18/08/2019 13:55

How much Merlot?

Knittedfairies · 18/08/2019 13:55

I think the Merlot probably adds to the taste.

LightDrizzle · 18/08/2019 13:55

I'll omit the skanky sultanas but thank you!

AnneLovesGilbert · 18/08/2019 13:56

Thank you! I’ll ditch the coconut, nuts work instead?

How do you weigh the syrup?

PeopleMover · 18/08/2019 13:56

I thought merlot was a typo for melt? Confused

IsobelRae23 · 18/08/2019 13:56

Thanks you!

EssentialHummus · 18/08/2019 13:58

Ooh! Thanks op.

Freefrops · 18/08/2019 13:58

I’d rather use Pinot Noir. Do I need to adjust the quantities?

billy1966 · 18/08/2019 13:58

👍

sackrifice · 18/08/2019 13:59

How do you weigh the syrup?

At a guess, scales?

Thequaffle · 18/08/2019 14:01

Merlot goes in the side!!!

JudgeRindersMinder · 18/08/2019 14:02

For weighing syrup, put a Little flour in your scale pan and shake it about so the surface is coated, then tip out the excess, then the syrup shouldn’t stick

Thequaffle · 18/08/2019 14:02

ON the side....is the sugar coma I’m slipping into from the unbelievable flapjack!

OP posts:
Freefrops · 18/08/2019 14:03

In the side of what? The pan?

JudgeRindersMinder · 18/08/2019 14:03

Thanks for the recipe OP-I like sultanas But May sub them for chocolate chips 😋

Thequaffle · 18/08/2019 14:03

@PeopleMover it was a typo for melt Smile

I do like a bit of dedicated coconut. So much nicer than that other coconut that never sees things through properly.

Freefrops · 18/08/2019 14:05

But what is the coconut dedicated to? The merlot?

OkMaybeNot · 18/08/2019 14:05

Chuck in some pumpkin seeds and that's basically the recipe I use. Bloody yum.

MrsJakeLovell · 18/08/2019 14:05

Put the saucepan on the scales and weigh all the ingredients straight in to the pan to weigh the syrup.

Coating a spoon in oil helps the syrup slide off cleanly if you spoon it not pour.

And because it's flapjacks the measurements don't have to be absolutely spot on.

Thequaffle · 18/08/2019 14:06

@JudgeRindersMinder oooh chocolate chips would be good, how about something like dried cranberries or little pieces of honeycomb?

OP posts:
howwudufeel · 18/08/2019 14:06

Is it ok without sultanas?
