    Flapjacks with Chocolate & Sultanas

    The first time I made flapjacks I posted them to my boyfriend and my brother as surprise care package. My boyfriend described them as 'immense' at the time and having made these again recently I really agree! This flapjack recipe is so easy to follow and you'll end up with buttery oaty flapjacks with a sweet drizzle of chocolate on top - delicious! Of course flapjacks aren't the healthiest thing due to the butter and sugar, but you've got to enjoy and treat once in a while. I've snuck some sultanas and some seeds into this recipe, so there's some extra goodness in there too. They also keep for a week in an air tight container so are perfect for sending to friends and family, enjoying on picnics and road trips, and taking to work or school as a snack.

    Step by step...

    First I melted the butter, golden syrup and light brown sugar on a low heat until the sugar had dissolved and everything was melted.

     

    I poured the porridge oats, linseeds and sultanas in a bowl and mixed them together. In went the melted butter and sugar, and I stirred it until the oats were all coated with the mixture.

    I put the mixture into a greased and lined traybake tin and pressed it down with a silicone spatula to smooth out the top and create an even finish.

     

    It baked on 170C/150C Fan/300F/Gas Mark 2 for 35 minutes until it was golden all over. I left it to cool completely. I used a sharp knife to cut it into squares, then drizzled the melted milk chocolate all over.

    The flapjacks were so yummy and buttery, and very moreish! My boyfriend was happy to see these come out of the kitchen again!

      These look lovely Kat. Aren't you a kind sister/girlfriend?! I've never tried posting any baked stuff but I imagine flapjacks are sturdy enough to survive.
