Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C Fan, gas mark 4) and line a baking tin with parchment paper.
Pour butter, golden syrup and light brown sugar into a large mixing bowl or pan. Melt on a medium to high heat stirring frequently. If you’re using the microwave, heat in short bursts (approximately 10 seconds) and stir thoroughly each time.
200 g Golden Syrup, 225 g Butter, 100 g Light Brown Sugar
Once melted, add oats into the mixture and stir until evenly distributed and the oats are coated in the mixture. The flapjack mixture will look quite wet and moist.
300 g Porridge Oats
Pour the flapjack mixture into the lined baking tin and spread the mixture into all four corners.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes. Once baked, leave the flapjacks to cool as this will allow the flapjacks to harden. Leave the flapjacks to cool down before cutting them into squares, rectangles or your desired shape.

The Best Gooey Flapjack Recipe
So, what makes this the best flapjack recipe? Um where do I start...My first attempt at making these flapjacks was a complete fail. The flavour was great, but the texture wasn't as gooey as I had hoped. It was very crumbly and didn't hold well at all!It can't be a really gooey flapjack recipe when the flapjacks don't turn out gooey! So, I tried again and after going through tons of oats, golden syrup, butter and sugar, I've finally got it perfect!
