Nothing is better than homemade flapjacks! Especially when it’s ridiculously easy to make and ready in just 30 minutes (yes, including prep time!). They smell absolutely divine and taste scrumptious, I always find it hard to have just one!

Chocolate Chips Or Chocolate Chunks?
Even though this is a chocolate chip flapjack recipe, I have a small confession…
Instead of chocolate chips, I like to use chocolate chunks. Chocolate chunks are slightly bigger, smoother and leave bigger pieces of chocolate within the flapjack. Plus, when heated, it creates larger pools of melted chocolate in the flapjack – yum!
If you’re having the flapjacks warm, then you might want to use chocolate chunks for more chocolateness.
Recipe Ingredients
Below are the 5 ingredients I used to make this recipe:
- Chocolate Chips: You can use chocolate chips or chocolate chunks (which are slightly bigger). I used milk chocolate chunks; you can use milk, dark or white chocolate.
- Porridge Oats: Any good quality porridge oats will do (avoid using jumbo oats or instant oats).
- Light Brown Sugar: Provides a caramelised flavour and makes the flapjacks slightly softer in texture.
- Butter: You can use salted butter, unsalted butter or margarine.
- Golden syrup: Used to help bind the ingredients together.
I Don’t Have Golden Syrup (HELP)
In my opinion, making flapjacks with golden syrup really is the best way. However, if you don’t have golden syrup, then it’s not the end of the world. I think honey is the next best swap as it also adds sweetness and helps to bind all the ingredients together.
I’ve made honey flapjacks before, it works well, but it simply doesn’t have that caramelised flavour that golden syrup adds. Anyway, here’s my post on golden syrup substitutes if you want more info.
