Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 ½ cups (300 grams) rolled oats
- 1 cup (225 grams) unsalted butter
- ¾ cup (180 grams) Biscoff spread (smooth or crunchy)
Sweeteners:
- ⅓ cup (100 grams) light brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons golden syrup or honey
Finishing Touches:
- 1 pinch of salt
- ⅔ tablespoons melted Biscoff (optional topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven and baking vessel by setting the temperature to 350F (175C) or 160C fan. Carefully line a square baking tin with parchment paper, ensuring complete coverage of the base and sides.
- Create a smooth, glossy base by gently melting butter, Biscoff spread, sugar, and golden syrup in a saucepan over low heat. Continuously stir the mixture until all ingredients integrate seamlessly and develop a uniform consistency.
- Transform the liquid mixture into a cohesive flapjack blend by removing the saucepan from heat and incorporating oats and a delicate pinch of salt. Thoroughly coat the oats, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the prepared mixture into the lined baking tin, using a spatula or the back of a spoon to compress the ingredients. Pack the mixture firmly and evenly, creating a compact and uniform layer that will bake into a delightful treat.
- Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Monitor the edges for a beautiful golden-brown color while maintaining a slightly soft center, indicating perfect texture and doneness.
- Remove from the oven and allow the flapjack to rest in the tin for 10 minutes, enabling it to set and stabilize. Optional: Enhance the flavor profile by drizzling additional melted Biscoff spread across the surface.
- Complete the cooling process by letting the flapjack reach room temperature. Once fully cooled, carefully slice into uniform squares or rectangular bars using a sharp knife.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of sugar and Biscoff spread to suit your taste preferences.
- Ensure even baking by using a light-colored metal baking tin, which helps distribute heat more uniformly.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular oats with certified gluten-free oats to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Enhance texture by briefly toasting oats in a dry pan before mixing to create a nuttier, more complex flavor profile.
