Calories 185kcal
Ingredients
- 200 g porridge/rolled oats
- 50 g jumbo oats see notes
- 125 g unsalted butter or baking spread
- 100 g brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp golden syrup see notes
- 50 g dried cranberries
- 50 g white chocolate chips
- 20 g almond flakes
Square tin 23x23cm (9x9inch) or similar lined with baking paper that overhangs on two sides. It will make for easy removal of flapjacks/granola bars from the tin.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/Gas Mark 3.
- Put sugar, baking spread or butter and golden syrup in a large pan over low heat and mix gently with a spoon until the ingredients melt and dissolve. Take the pan off the heat.
- Add oats and dried cranberries and stir until well combined.
- Put the mixture into prepared baking tin and smooth it over with the back of the spoon.
- Sprinkle almond flakes and white chocolate chips over the oats mixture and press them gently into the oats with your hand.
- Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Take the tin out of the oven and after the flapjacks (granola bars) had time to cool slightly (approx 5 min) cut them into size of your liking (I went for 16 squares).
- Once they're cut, let them cool completely in a tin before transferring into airtight container.
Notes
- Nutritional information is approximate and should be treated as a guideline only.
- Feel free to simply use 250g/3 cups of rolled/porridge oats and skip the jumbo oats altogether. I like to add them when I have them for a bit of added texture.
- You can substitute golden syrup with honey or agave syrup if you're a vegan as they have similar consistency.
- They will keep in the airtight container for over a week. Freezer friendly.
