I love making these flapjacks. They are so easy to make and the orange just makes it a little different from other recipes I have used. In my opinion, a flapjack is not a flapjack if it’s not super sticky and falling apart when you eat it. I first discovered this recipe in a lovely book by Emma-Lee Gow.

I N G R E D I E N T S

1 large orange

250g unsalted butter (cut into pieces)

250g golden caster sugar

175g golden syrup

425g porridge oats

M E T H O D

First off preheat your oven to 180 degrees and line your tin with some baking paper to make sure nothing gets stuck. Pop the rind of your orange into a heavy based saucepan with the butter pieces, sugar and syrup. Turn your heat on and cook this mixture gently on a low heat until all of the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove the saucepan from the heat, stir in your oats and then pop all of the mixture into your lined baking tray. You’ll need to cook the mixture for about 25 minutes or until it’s all lovely and golden brown… yep, it’s as easy as that!
