Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, gas mark 4) and line a square baking tin with parchment paper. I used a 9″ square baking tin.

Pour half of the flapjack mixture into the lined baking tin and flatten with the back of a spoon.

Pour the remaining oats on top and gently spread it over the jam layer. Sprinkle flaked almonds on top and bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes.
Melt white chocolate in the microwave on a medium heat. Stop the microwave every 10 to 15 seconds and give the chocolate a stir.

Notes

My Top Tips

Make sure the flapjack has cooled down completely before cutting it into slices, to prevent it from falling apart.

When you pour the flapjack mixture into the baking tin, it needs to be pressed down and compressed. This removes air which helps stick the flapjacks together.

Thoroughly mix the oats into the melted golden syrup, sugar and butter mixture. It's important that each oat is coated in this mixture as this is what binds the oats together.
