(Makes 9 pieces)

You’ll need a 15cm square baking tin.

Ingredients:

135g unsalted butter

90g golden syrup

90g caster sugar

Sprinkle of ground cinnamon (optional)

250g oats

Roughly 3 tbsp apricot jam

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 160C fan and line and grease the baking tray with baking paper. Tip - leave some paper overhanging so it’s easy to remove the flapjack from the tin later!

2. In a pan, melt the butter, sugar and golden syrup on low heat until completely melted

3. Pour the wet mixture into a large bowl and add the oats and cinnamon, stir well until everything is coated

4. Take half the mixture and press firmly into the tin, levelling it out so that it’s evenly spread

5. Then add a layer of your apricot jam all over the flapjack base

6. Top with the remainder of the flapjack mixture 

7. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes until it starts to golden at the edges

8. Leave to cool completely in the tin, placing the tin on a cooling rack

9. Cut into pieces in the tin and dust in icing sugar. Serve and enjoy!
