Vanilla Flapjacks

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 18x18 cm baking tray with parchment paper.

   Tip: Make sure to grease the parchment paper for easier removal.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

   Tip: Be careful not to burn the butter.

3. 3

   Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and salt to the saucepan. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

   Tip: Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the saucepan.

4. 4

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the milk, large eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the mixture is smooth and there are no lumps.

5. 5

   Add the flour and rolled oats to the saucepan. Stir until a dough forms.

   Tip: Don't overmix the dough.

6. 6

   If using walnuts, fold them into the dough.

   Tip: This will add a nice texture to your flapjacks.

7. 7

   Press the dough into the prepared baking tray.

   Tip: Make sure the dough is evenly distributed.

8. 8

   Bake the flapjacks for 25-30 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.

   Tip: Don't open the oven door during the baking time.

9. 9

   Remove the flapjacks from the oven and let them cool in the tray for 5 minutes.

   Tip: This will help them set properly.

10. 10

    Transfer the flapjacks to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Tip: Cut into squares or bars once they have cooled.
