Ingredients

200g golden syrup
200g light brown sugar
400g rolled oats
100g dark chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract

Light brown sugar is recommended for this recipe, as it will give the flapjacks a lovely caramel flavour.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter, golden syrup and brown sugar over a low heat. Stir gently until the sugar has dissolved. 3. Once the sugar has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. 4. Add the rolled oats and chocolate chips to the pan and stir well, making sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed. 5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking tin and use the back of a spoon to press it down firmly. 6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the flapjacks are golden brown and firm to the touch. 7. Remove the tin from the oven and allow the flapjacks to cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes. 8. Once the flapjacks have cooled slightly, use a sharp knife to cut them into squares or rectangles. 9. Leave the flapjacks to cool completely in the tin before removing them and serving.
