Caramel Flapjacks

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) and line an 18cm square baking tin with parchment paper.

   Tip: Use a medium-low heat to prevent burning.

2. 2

   Melt the butter, golden syrup, and brown sugar in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.

   Tip: Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the pan and prevent sticking.

3. 3

   Add the vanilla extract and stir well.

   Tip: This will help bring out the flavors of the caramel syrup.

4. 4

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the chopped nuts, dried fruit, and flour.

   Tip: This will help distribute the ingredients evenly.

5. 5

   Pour in the caramel sauce and stir until well combined.

   Tip: Be patient and stir slowly to prevent the mixture from becoming too runny.

6. 6

   Add the rolled oats, sea salt, baking soda, and salt to the mixture and stir until well combined.

   Tip: Use a spatula to mix the ingredients until they form a cohesive dough.

7. 7

   Press the mixture into the prepared baking tin.

   Tip: Use a spatula or your hands to shape the mixture into a flat layer.

8. 8

   Bake the flapjacks for 25 minutes, or until they are lightly golden around the edges.

   Tip: Keep an eye on the flapjacks while they are baking, as they can go from golden to burnt quickly.

9. 9

   Remove the flapjacks from the oven and let them cool completely in the tin.

   Tip: This will help them set and become easier to cut.

10. 10

    Once the flapjacks have cooled, cut them into bars and serve.

    Tip: You can store the flapjacks in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
