Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius and grease a 20 by 30 centimeter baking tin with butter.
Tip: Line the tin with baking paper as well for easier removal after cooling.
- 2
Melt the butter with the honey and brown sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until everything is combined and smooth.
Tip: Don't let it boil; just warm it through until the sugar dissolves.
- 3
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and sea salt, mixing well.
- 4
Add the rolled oats and chopped apricots to the pan and fold together until all the oats are evenly coated with the honey and butter mixture.
Tip: Use a sturdy wooden spoon and take your time to ensure even distribution.
- 5
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking tin and press it down firmly with the back of a spatula or your hands, creating an even, compact layer.
Tip: The more firmly you press, the better the flapjacks will hold together when sliced.
- 6
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly darker.
Tip: The centre should still feel slightly soft as it will firm up as it cools.
- 7
Allow the flapjacks to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Tip: Once completely cool, cut into 12 bars with a sharp knife.
