Equipment

Ingredients

450 g gluten free porridge oats
150 g butter or butter alternative (I use Flora plant butter)
50 g fat (I use Trex white vegetable fat)
225 g light brown sugar
100 g honey I use Sweet Freedom Honey Flavour Syrup

To decorate (optional)

50 g dairy free 'milk' chocolate
50 g dairy free white chocolate

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C | 160°C Fan | 350°F | Gas 4
Line the bottom of a 20x20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
Into a large non stick saucepan add the butter, fat, sugar and honey flavoured syrup. Place over a medium heat and stir until all the ingredients have melted.
Turn the hob off and set the saucepan aside.
Weigh out the gluten free oats (porridge, jumbo or a combination of both).
Pour the oats into the saucepan and using a silicone spatula mix thoroughly.
Now tip the mixture into the prepared cake tin and press down firmly to pack the oats down well making sure you pack the mixture tight into the corners.
TOP TIP: do this as firmly as you can, this will guarantee a sturdy flapjack that will not fall apart when cut into portions.
Pop the tin into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The flapjack will bubble a little at the edges when it's ready.
Remove from the oven, using a wet knife tease the flapjack from the edges of the tin (this will prevent concrete hard sticking later!)
Allow to cool completely in the tin before removing and cutting into 12 sliced portions.
If you plan to decorate as I have, simply melt the chocolate in a microwave and drizzle over each flapjack slice once cut.

Notes

As you can see in the images, I have cut into 6 slices - these looked great for the photos but goodness me they were filling to eat in one sitting so trust me, 12 slices or even 10 will be an adequate sized portion!
