Ingredients

  • 300 g (10.5 oz) rolled oats
  • 175 g ( 6 oz) butter, unsalted can be substituted for dairy free spread
  • 175 g ( 6 oz) lotus biscoff spread
  • 125 g (4 .5 oz) golden syrup
  • 40 g ( 1.5 oz ) light brown sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan, 350˚F). Line a 7” by 7” square baking tin with baking parchment paper or use a silicone baking tin.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter, light brown sugar, biscoff spread and golden syrup over a low heat. Stir continuously until melted and combined, then remove from heat.
  • Add the oats to the wet ingredients. Mix well until everything is evenly coated and there are no dry bits.
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon to create an even layer.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
  • Let the flapjacks cool completely in the tin before cutting into squares and enjoying.

Tips & Tricks
  • This recipe has been tested using a 7” by 7” baking tin. Note that cooking times will vary if you use a different sized tin.
  • Melt on a low heat. Gently melt the butter, sugar, and syrup over a low heat to avoid burning.
  • Check the doneness of the flapjacks after 15 minutes. The middle of the flapjacks should still be slightly soft and a bit wobbly. This is what you want, it’s how you get soft and chewy flapjacks!
  • Let the flapjacks cool completely before removing them from the tin. Otherwise, they may crumble and fall apart when you try to cut them.
  • Drizzle with Biscoff. For an extra burst of Biscoff flavour, drizzle some melted Biscoff spread or white chocolate over the cooled flapjacks before cutting them.
How Can I Make These Flapjacks Allergy Friendly or Vegan?
  • Make It Dairy-Free - Biscoff spread is dairy-free so the only change you need to make is to swap the butter for a dairy-free spread.
  • Make It Gluten-Free - Biscoff spread does contain gluten, so you will need to make your own. Here is a great recipe from Gluten Free Alice. You will also need to use gluten-free rolled porridge oats.
  • Make It Vegan -  Use dairy-free spread and make sure you use golden syrup and not honey and the flapjacks will be vegan.
