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.

I put the saucepan on the scales and zero them; then put the syrup in the pan.

Glittertwins · 18/08/2019 19:46

I throw in chopped dates, dried figs, toasted seeds and chopped hazelnuts in as well as the dessicated coconut. I just bung enough melted butter and golden syrup to bind it all before baking

Are they supposed to cool in the tin? I've just tried to put them onto a cooling rack and they've completely fallen apart. I think I've accidently made granola instead. :(

Yum

Holidaysmoliday · 18/08/2019 20:12

Blindly that is a ALOT of sugar

Holidaysmoliday · 18/08/2019 20:12

Blimey even

Thequaffle · 18/08/2019 20:46

@ImNotYourGranny yes cool in the tin so it solidifies. You can score the top while warm so it’s easier to cut once cool

Coconut & sultanas is sacrilege in flapjacks. I'll stick to my foolproof Delia Smith or Mary Berry recipes.

ImNotYourGranny · 18/08/2019 20:53

Leaving the rest to cool properly now. Unfortunately I had to eat all the crumbly bits. Blush

Vasya · 18/08/2019 20:54

I prefer Pinot noir to merlot, will it still work? And how dedicated does the coconut need to be?

Vasya · 18/08/2019 20:55

(For real tho thank you, that sounds amazing!)

Branleuse · 18/08/2019 20:56

Sounds good

CoolWivesClub2019 · 18/08/2019 20:58

Yabu to put coconut and sultanas in flapjacks!

ImNotYourGranny · 18/08/2019 21:01

They do taste good. More like Anzac biscuits that flapjack.

gerbo · 24/08/2019 16:49

Just made these and wanted to say thanks as they're properly delicious, the best flapjacks I've ever made.

Where was the recipe from?

ilovesooty · 24/08/2019 16:55

Thank you!

BikeRunSki · 24/08/2019 16:59

I dontgat recipe but with ground almonds for the dedicated coconut. Can’t stand desiccated coconut.

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/08/2019 18:40

Making these in a bit. Let me know if you want a savoury flapjack recipe!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 25/08/2019 17:47

A savoury flapjack recipe sounds amazing, @AnneLovesGilbert! Please may I have it?

BikeRunSki · 26/08/2019 09:10

@AnneLovesGilbert - please send me your savoury flapjack recipe!! How does it stick together?

justmyview · 26/08/2019 09:48

Another option is to blitz all the ingredients in a food processor, but only briefly, then bake in the tin as normal

This way, they don't fall apart so much. But don't blitz for too long, or you'll have no texture to the oats

Thequaffle · 26/08/2019 17:00

@gerbo thanks! I used the same quantities of oats, sugar and syrup from Lorraine Pascale’s recipe, but I changed the sugar and added the desiccated coconut, sultanas in whatever quantities looked about right.
Glad they worked out for you!!

Cheesejacks for @BikeRunSki and @SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

350g strong cheddar, grated
300g oats
100g butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
3tbsp dried rosemary
1tbsp wholegrain mustard

Combine, pop in lined tray 20 x 30 I think. Bake at 150 for 30-35.

Very savoury and I make a batch most weeks.

BikeRunSki · 26/08/2019 17:36

Sounds amazing @AnneLovesGilbert. Thank you. I am on the constant look out for kid-post-sport-snacks which are not ham sandwhiches or sugary!

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 27/08/2019 13:55

Those sound AMAZING!! Thank you, @AnneLovesGilbert.
