Irish Flapjacks
Irish Flapjacks. Not a stack of pancakes. But these buttery, sweet oat bars.
Servings: 10
INGREDIENTS
- 175 g butter - ¾ cup (1½ sticks)
- 125 g light brown sugar - ½ cup + 1 tbsp
- 100 ml maple syrup - 6 tbsp
- 300 grams oats (rolled or steelcut) - 3½ cups
METHOD
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and line an 8” square or round baking tin with parchment paper.
- Melt together the butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup. You can do this in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Once the butter melts and the sugar dissolves, add in the oats. Mix until well combined. Pour mixture into prepared pan. Spread evenly and press down well.
- Bake in the oven on the middle rack until golden brown - about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, place on a wire rack, and allow to cool completely.
- Once firm and cool to the touch, use a knife to loosen the edges before removing it from the pan. Place the flapjack on a cutting board and slice it into ten even-sized pieces.
