Equipment
- 1 Medium Sized Saucepan
- 1 Spatula or Wooden Spoon
- 1 20x25cm (8x10 inch) Baking Tin
- Non Stick Baking Paper
- 1 Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 300 g Porridge Oats, Quick Oats
- 150 g Soft Brown Sugar
- 170 g Unsalted Butter
- 130 g Golden Syrup
- 40 g Dried Cherries
- 40 g Dried Cranberries
- 20 g Dried Goji Berries
- 40 g Raisins
- 40 g Pumpkin Seeds
- 120 g Dried Apricots
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 150C (300F).
- In a saucepan, melt the sugar, butter, and syrup together over low heat while stirring continuously.
- Roughly chop the apricots into small pieces and transfer them to a large bowl.
- Add the oats, mixed berries, raisins, and pumpkin seeds, or any other fruits and seeds of your choice to the bowl. Mix everything together until evenly combined.
- Pour the melted mixture into the bowl and mix everything together until the dry ingredients are fully coated.
- Line a 20x25cm (8x10 inch) baking tin with baking paper, making sure some of it hangs over the edges to help you lift it out of the tin once baked.
- Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to firmly press the mixture down evenly, removing any air pockets.
- Place the baking tin in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.
- Once baked, take the tin out of the oven and let the mixture cool completely in the tin. It might look soft but it will harden as it cools.
- Once set, use the overhanging paper to lift the flapjacks out of the tin and cut them into slices with a sharp knife.
- You can store the flapjacks according to our instructions or serve them immediately.

Recipe Notes
- Wait until the flapjacks have cooled completely before you slice them.
- They will still be soft when they leave the oven - this is normal as they will harden as they cool.
- You can add your own variety of dried mixed fruit, seeds and nuts. Just be sure to stick closely to the quantities we have used here.
- Press the mixture down firmly in the tin before baking.
- Keep the added ingredients small in size. Chop any fruit, nuts or seeds that exceed a raisin size, before adding.
