This is a recipe for a flapjack that uses oil instead of butter, combining it with honey and syrup as the liquid ingredients.
Ingredients:
120ml neutral oil (eg Rapeseed Oil)
200g Porridge oats
2 tbsp of honey
3 tbsp of syrup (I used my catkin syrup but any high sugar content syrup will work)
Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 4). Grease and line a 22cm square baking tin.
Measure out all the ingredients.
In a saucepan over a moderate combine the honey and syrup with the oil. When the ingredients are runny and have combined add all the dry ingredients to the pan and mix thoroughly, making sure every bit of dry ingredient is coated with the honey/oil mixture.
Scrape the mixture into the lined tin and press down firmly ensuring the mixture is flat and even.
Transfer to the centre of your pre-heated oven and bake for around 20 minutes — the flapjacks are ready when the edges are golden colour.
Using a sharp knife, cut the large flapjack into bars (but leave in the tin). Allow to cool in the tin for at least 90 minutes before turning out and spitting into bars.
