American flapjacks are thick pancakes, but this British version is quite different. Serve as a teatime treat, a healthy lunchbox snack, or a delicious breakfast with warm milk and fresh fruit.

175g unsalted butter
3 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 cup firmly packed (100g) soft brown sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
250g rolled oats
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
50g raisins
Pinch each of ground cinnamon and ground cloves

Method

1.

Preheat the oven to 160°C (not fanforced).
2.

Grease and line the base of a 26cm x 18cm baking tray.
3.

Place the butter, golden syrup, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Place oats, almonds, seeds, raisins and spices in a bowl, add butter mixture, then stir to combine.
4.

Press mixture into prepared tray and bake for 25 minutes. Turn out onto a flat baking sheet for a further 15 minutes or until crisp. Cool, then cut into squares. Serve by itself or with warm milk and berries if desired.
