Although not gluten free, these Ultimate Flapjacks are wheat free. And although full of sugar and syrup, they are a delicious treat. They are so easy to make, and the kids can easily get involved with the measuring and preparation.
Ingredients
250g oats
100g raisins
125g butter
60g demerara sugar
4 tbsp. golden syrup
pinch of salt
(you can add other dried fruit, chopped nuts, seeds etc)
Instructions
- Melt the butter, sugar and syrup in a pan on a low heat setting.
- When melted and the sugar dissolved, turn off the heat. Add the oats, raisins and salt and mix well.
- Pour the mixture into loaf tins or a high-sided baking tray and press down.
- Cook in the over 180c for about 20mins until brown and crispy.
- Cut into squares, allow to cool and enjoy.
You could be munching on these Ultimate Flapjacks in less than an hour, start to finish. Just don’t burn your tongue on the hot raisins!

They certainly are, and they would have disappeared in one sitting, if I didn’t hide some away for the next day.

You can easily make them gluten free by swapping the oats for gluten free oats…it’s only ensuring they’ve been through a purely free from process with no risk of cross-contamination anyway 😀

Yes, that’s a good point. It is getting easier to adapt recipes to free from.
Thanks for stopping by.

If you burn them, you can crumble it and use it as breakfast cereal. Pretend that’s what you planned all along!

They look scrummy! This is similar to my recipe. The quantities I use vary depending on how hard I concentrate on what I’m doing 🙂 Just got a recipe for Banana, Cocoa and Almond flapjacks. Can’t wait to try them!

Thank you.
Your new recipe sounds interesting. I’ve only ever made banana bread, so I’d be interested to see how the banana flapjacks turn out. Also I once added choc chips to my flapjacks. They melted in the hot butter of course (I hadn’t thought of that), but still tasted lovely! Maybe I could have added coco powder instead.

I love flapjack. It’s a family favourite. Hubby loves it with half raisins/sultanas and half chopped dried apricots for the fruit (and I tend to put about 100g of each in!). Yummy!

That does sound good. I want to start being more adventurous, will have to try apricots.
