Ingredients

For the Flapjacks

250g rolled oats
100g desiccated coconut
150g unsalted butter
100g brown sugar
100ml golden syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Melt the Ingredients

In a saucepan, melt the butter, brown sugar, and golden syrup over low heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, desiccated coconut, and a pinch of salt.

Mix and Pour

Pour the melted mixture into the dry ingredients and add the vanilla extract. Stir until fully combined.

Bake

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking tray and press it down evenly. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool and Cut

Allow to cool in the tray for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into flapjacks.

Storing Your Flapjacks

To keep your Sweet Coconut Cream Flapjacks fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week, but we bet they’ll be gone long before then! If you want to keep them for longer, consider freezing them. Simply wrap individual flapjacks in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-friendly bag. They will stay fresh for up to three months, making them an excellent option for meal prep.

When you're ready to enjoy a frozen flapjack, just take one out and let it thaw at room temperature for a few hours, or pop it in the microwave for a few seconds for a quick warm-up. This way, you can always have a delicious snack on hand!

Variations to Try

While this recipe is already a delightful treat, feel free to get creative! You can add chocolate chips or dried fruits like cranberries or apricots for an extra burst of flavor. If you prefer a nutty twist, consider incorporating chopped nuts or seeds. Each variation brings a new dimension to the flapjacks, allowing you to customize them to suit your taste or to use what you have on hand.

Another fun idea is to experiment with different sweeteners. Instead of golden syrup, try using honey or maple syrup for a unique flavor profile. Just remember to adjust the quantity as needed, as some sweeteners are sweeter than others. These simple swaps can transform the flapjacks into something uniquely yours!
