Notes
Storing Instructions
These oat and honey flapjacks will last up to 3 to 5 days stored in an airtight container. If you want to keep it for longer, then I recommend that you freeze it.To freeze, after the flapjacks have cooled down, place it into an airtight container and place in the freezer for up to 3 months. To defrost, simply take it out of the freezer and leave it at room temperature.
Should Flapjacks Be Soft When They Come Out Of The Oven?
Yes! Flapjacks are usually soft when they come out of the oven and are hot in temperature. However, as they cool down, they will firm up.
Don't Make Hard Flapjacks!!
Usually, super hard flapjacks are caused by baking it in the oven for too long, especially when the oven temperature is set to a high heat.To prevent this, as soon as you see the edges around the flapjacks turn into a golden-brown colour. Take it out of the oven and leave it to cool down as this is a good indication that the flapjacks are cooked.
